Enterprise Console 4.0

I am kind of lost here. We downloaded the Enterprise Console 4.0 and installed it in Windows XP. I understand it is not supported. It is a thread handling issue. Can someone give me a little more information? Is this kind of the same issue that Windows XP has with multiple connections on its system?

 We were recommended to use windows 2003 server or 2008, is one better than the other?

Thank you

  • Hello Ilene,

    so you already have an ES1000 and a WS1000 in your shop and now you want endpoint protection too? And Sophos told you to use the Enterprise version (as opposed to the Small Business offering)? If I understand correctly SCC is supported on Windows XP.

    There are cars and trucks and there are workstations and servers. And while a workstation can also act as server to a certain extent it has it's limits. Even if unsupported SEC (the management server including SUM and the database) does run (or walk) on XP (I've done so on a Dell notebook with 512MB RAM, XP SP3) but I don't know how many clients it can manage. 

    As for 2003 vs. 2008: how do you define better? Usually you can find an existing server on which you run SEC along with the other applications. If not, then it depends on whether whether 2003 or 2008 is your preferred platform (or will be so in the near future).

    Is this of help?
