Networks with more than 5000 computers: Still an issue with 2008R2?

DetlevRackow

Hi,

support told me that the article http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/14635.html is still valid.

So, if I install a new Library on Windows Server 2008R2 standard, it is still necessary to implement message relaying to distribute the clients between two message routers. While this is technically possible, it will make roll-out and the overall infrastructure more complex. While we have about 7000+ PCs, they are all in the same city and connected at network speed, so there is no topological reason for relaying.

Is there any chance that this limitation might be circumvented with a future service pack? Afaik, SP1 for 2008R2 will be in public beta any time soon.

Our main server which hosts EC and SUM is five years old and due for replacement. Since the hardware is still in support at HP, it would be an option to wait for a solution if there might be a solution in the near future.

Best regards,

Detlev

    So after your clients appear in SEC they are put into different groups depending on the OU and get one of two updating policies? If so rms in the CIDs could be customized. Clients would initially connect directly to the management server but reconfigure RMS after updating from the correct location. But as you said you probably don't need it.
