Assign Linux client to a particular group in Enterprise Console via installation command/script

Hi David,

Have a read at our Startup Guide: Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux startup guide

Page 17 shows you what switch to use so you can specify the group computers will be added to in SEC.

Cheers,
Karlos

Hi Karlos,

  We have tried creating an RPM package but it does not install correctly.

Can you confirm that the correct flags are set below?

./mkinstpkg -r --sec-group=ProjectHosts 

This command gives the license, and we set the default installation path, update source (http://a2adm2:8080/SourceUpdates) and anonymous access.

It generates a 4MB .rpm file but it doesn't install the client on any Linux servers that both resolve the update source name (a2adm2) and have network access to it over tcp/8080.

Can you give suggestions on next steps?

Thanks,

David

Hello David,

does your SourceUpdates path map the savlinux directory or the update share?

Hi QC,

  The SourceUpdates path maps to the update share (\\a2adm2\SophosUpdate).

Should it be pointed to the parent directory of savlinux, or savlinux itself (\\a2adm2\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\savlinux)?

Thanks,

David

Hello David,

the updater, that is also responsible for the initial install, expects the savlinux (name doesn't matter, the contents do).
