SOPHOS CLIENT ENDPOINT DEPLOYMENT

Hello Paul,

from the central management console
are you referring to Sophos Central and the Central Admin console or the on-premise SEC? For the former there exists AFAIK no method to do it from the console, installers can be scripted though. For the latter Protect Computers will work on a group of endpoints.

Hi Christian Thanks for that clarification but the deployment will be from the Sophos Central Cloud Management Console and not the On Premise Central Admin Console I look forward to your explanation Thanks

Hello Paul,

the Central deployment methods article links to Sophos Central: Methods for automating the deployment ... with examples for AD/GPO and SCCM.
As said it's not possible from Central Admin - you wouldn't want that some service in the cloud can contact your computers and install software on them "from te Internet". Thus the initial is necessarily local. What particular method you use to run the script or the .exe is up to you.

Hi Christian

 

thanks again but there seems to be confusion with the nature of my request. We are looking to deploy the EXE per ENDPOINT group such as the MATHS or HUMANITIES department group within the Cloud Central console where nowhere in the Sophos online Technical guides does it mention these groups  .There is discussion of Group Policy but we want Sophos Console Groups on a departmental etc level to push the EXE to 

I hope this makes more sense

Hello Paul,

I see. Do I now understand you correctly you have set up groups in Central Admin using AD synchronization? An now you want to protect the devices in these groups? Or where did these department groups come from?
