Extended Anti-Virus support for Windows XP/2003

I'm under the understanding that these subscriptions are only for specific updates that Sophos may release for Windows XP and Server 2003. These machines will still receive virus definition updates as per normal without being applied to a group / update policy / subscription for Windows XP & Server 2003 extended support.

Is this true? We have remote sites which all have there own group, and update policy, and use the "Recommended" subscription. These remote sites use there own update managers as well.

Most of the remote sites have some XP and Server 2003 machines, if I was to create one group for the XP machines, then these machines won't be using there designated update manager.

I'm not sure how to proceed, creating a group for every site, we have over 60 might be a bit messy, and would add a lot more groups and update policies.

Any advice would be appreciated.

  • Hello Thomas Newman,

    depends on how long you intend to run XP/2003 but first a question: You've posted here in the UTM section but do you use the UTM managed version or the on-premise SESC as you mention designated update managers?

    Christian

  • We use on-premise SESC, as we have update managers for each site. What I'm worried about is the XP and Server 2003 machines not getting there updates. If there not in a group that has the extended support subscription, will they still get the Sophos updates?

  • Hello Peter,

    can't say why they are still there (unless I misunderstand the Unregister), it's safe to remove them  - and necessary to remove at least the Products subkey so that AutoUpdate no longer considers Patch.

    Christian

  • Hi Christian,

    I have done that, but the error still persists after a reboot and an update

    It has also recreated the keys I deleted :(

  • Hello Peter,

    this is strange - could you post the latest update cycle from the ALUpdate log? Not sure where AutoUpdate has its logs in XP, IIRC either Program Files\Sophos\AutoUpdate or All Users\Application Data\.....

    Christian

  • Hi,

    Glad its not just me finding it odd!

    See attached.

    Many thanks for your help so far

    Peter

  • Hello Peter,

    Considering product {C58B1255-C24E-43d6-B2EB-9FB302B42E99}
    suggests the key is still present. The other two products are SCF and AutoUpdate, BTW. I've just removed the key (actually the one for spa64) from a machine, AutoUpdate did not attempt to download Patch (even though it was still installed). After adding it back in AutoUpdate went through download/install. Just did it to confirm that the behaviour hasn't changed. The only explanation I can come up with is that they key is still there ...

  • Hi Christian,

    I deleted both keys again and confirmed with a colleague that they had gone. Confirmed.

    Rebooted, update done, failed on the Patch as before and registry keys recreated. 

    Very odd.

    Pete 

  • Hell Peter,

    no idea what should recreate them, after deletion and reboot (which isn't necessary BTW) on the first update AutoUpdate did or did not consider Patch?
    IMO the quickest way to determine what's going on is using Process Monitor, filtering registry accesses where the path contains this GUID - this should tell you who or what is recreating said key. I can say this isn't normal, did it more than one time - you delete the key, AutoUpdate leaves Patch alone.

    We have purchased extended support as we have a large number of "legacy" machines ( I know, I know :) ) and i came across this article 

     

    https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/125237

     

    It isn't totally clear how you get 10.6.3 to be installed? I have just built a blank test XP machine and the version installed is 10.7. I can't seem to find a clear way of putting 10.6.3 on it. The machine is a in a dedicated XP OU and the subscription is pointing to Windows XP and 2003 Support.

     

  • Hello RCB,

    sorry, no Spanish
    how much?
    you mean the price of this Extended Support? You'd have to ask your Account Manager, a Sophos Partner or Reseller.
