Best practice distribution model for mixed Windows / Mac / UNIX environment

KnollJRH

Are there any Knowledgebase articles or whitepapers about setting up distribution in a mixed environment?

I have the articles on WebCID, but am not sure this is a preferred method for us. Currently, I have Windows (2000, XP, 7) and Mac (PowerPC running OSX) updating from my SophosUpdate share on my Windows Server, but my one deployed UNIX client (more to come when I straighten this out) complains that it cannot find server.inf.

Thanks in advance!
John

    Hello John,

    I'd check the security log on the W2k8 server (BTW: Is this a DC as you say SophosUpdateMgr is a domain account?) . How did you install the client and has it reported to the console? If so - did you set the updating policy from it (then the credentials should be correct). Now I don't have Solaris to check why it wants to read server.inf. I've subscribed to the unix package and this file doesn't exist in the CID (might be that it is just checking for this file (netware?) and would accept "not found").

    Are you able to mount the update location from Solaris using the credentials?     

    Sorry that I have no suggestion and only questions
