Installing Sophos Update Manager in locations with Low Badnwidth

Hi

I have installed Sohpos Update manager on a good few of our sites and all is working okay.I was installing the update manager directly from the server where Enterprise Console is set up.Then it would download all the binaries, seems to copy over around 300mb or there abouts.

Just wondering If I needed to set up Sophos Update Manager on some of our locations, which have satellite links, is there any way around having all this data copied over the satellite link the first time.

I was thinking of copying the install files from main server to cd, and then copying Update folder from another Update Manger onto cd, then installing update manager.

In the hope then that when it updates the next time, it will already have bulk of data so would need a large copy the first time

Any thought, or has anyone done this before

Thanks

  • Hello kmd,

    [Heaven forbid that I've also to del with satellite links].

    You can copy the SUMInstallset contents to a CD/DVD and install from there. Afterwards the secondary SUM has to talk to the central console to get its configuration. You probably want to "bootstrap" the warehouse data. I have an idea but I'd like to check it out - which will, due to our National Holiday, not be before Wednesday.
