Change Software Distribution path

I was able to upgrade our existing Sophos Enterprise Console (SEC) from 3.1 to 4 and also was able to migrate all of the settings to the new Sophos Update Manager (SUM).

I now on the process of fine tuning my installation. As what I have stated on my previous post I extracted the SUM and SEC upgrade on a separate drive (drive D:\). What I noticed is that the bootstrap location or the software distribution path is placed on drive C:\ (\\<server name>\SophosUpdate). I want to transfer this bootstrap location to drive D:\ so that everything is present there on my Sophos folder which is located on drive D:\.

Now, what I did is I created a new shared folder on my Drive D:\ and I added it on the Software Distribution tab on SUM. How ever I couldn't  place the original bootstrap location which is \\<server name>\SophosUpdate on the left side of the selection so that the my new shared folder which is located on drive D:\ will be the one left on to the Update to: field. I have already disabled the sharing of the original bootstrap location on drive C:\.

Are there any other ways wherein I could transfer the bootstrap locations to the other drive that I have which is on Drive D:\ so that whenever I am going to download the updates from the Sophos all of the software updates will be placed on the shared folder that I have created on drive D:\ and not on its original bootstrap location which is \\<server name>\SophosUpdate which is on drive C:\.

Thanks....

  • A quick and dirty test suggests that you can't "move" the \\server\SophosUpdate share - distribution seems to be using the local path and not the share. An update manager places all subscriptions it has subscribed to in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%... or %PROGRAMDATA% path. Guess unless you tweak the environment (not recommended and you would have to do so before install) you can't get the data off C:.
