Sophos as primary update location

biosmatrix

Hello,

I'd like our laptops to always update from 'Sophos' with the primary location being direct, secondary through our proxy.

Now 'Sophos' is only a selectable option in secondary server, what do I need to put as the URL in the Primary to get this to update from 'Sophos' ?

    If you checked your local autoupdate logs, you will find the full URL for "Sophos", and could hard code this into your Primary, but I'd recommend against it - while it doesn't change often, it does change, and remote machines are the hardest ones to get at when you need to make a change to them - they would be out of luck if we had to change the URL.

    To make sure I understood it - two questions:

    First: The logs show only "Sophos"   and the URL can be found in iconn.cfg (Please do not edit this text file) - or am I looking for it in the wrong locations?

    Second: Hardcoded isn't be the problem - unmanaged is, isn't it? The UseSophos = 1 flag makes Sophos appear in the logs. Looking into iconn.cfg I see es-web.sophos.com as URL and my local proxy tells me it's using es-web-2.sophos.com as host - wherever the -2 comes from ...
