Installing Sophos Update Manager in locations with Low Badnwidth

kmd

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

    Hi Qc

    I followed the steps and all seemed to be working fine. Updated from local source and then changed update location to our main update server. Now when it tries to update, getting the following errors

      04/11/2010 11:28:44  80040404  Threat detection data update failed.   
                                                 04/11/2010 11:28:37  80040408  Unable to write to distribution location \\serrvername\sophosupdatefor software subscription 'Recommended'.
                                                 04/11/2010 11:02:37  80040401  Software update failed.              
    Permissions on the share are the same as all other update manager servers
    any other ideas
    THanks
