Q: Two Mgmt Consoles - Newly inherited!

Hi, I have inherited a setup which looks like this.

1. 200 user site, has around 5 small site to sites over VPN tunnels - adding further 50 users
2. 100 user site, with further site to site VPN, adding further 75 users

Around 500 end points in total inc servers, laptops (all windows)

However, at each of the two locations, there is a management console running and each 'manages' it's own end points plus it's own nearest sites over VPN...clients are pushed from each mgmt point and update from same etc

There is no overall view of estate and all seems a bit confusing

Completely new to Sophos and still getting used to it so really wanted to ask if anyone had any pointers to the best route to go to have a single management point managing all clients (with maybe two update points?) and what would be best steps to take. Not sure if I still need more than one local update point, sites have reasonable links so probably not

is it a case of just re pushing to all clients on the console we want to keep so it effectively takes over? Client also look to have been added manually rather from ad...lots of stale objects

Again, any pointers or good docs to read would be really appreciated as unfortunately previous it team who configured are no longer and very little documentaion, previously have used macaffee / epo

Thanks

  • Thanks for reply. I am spending day tomorrow going through the setup, so thanks for advice/links. What confuse me at moment is update points. Clients have 2 at moment, one local magmt server and presume a fallback to sophos FTP. However, if we migrate all end points to one server, then how do I tell the end points previously on the second server (at the remote site) that they need to still update from their local box....does it work it out on ping or is it simply a case of creating additional packages to send to those clients ( so management is one point, but updates are another) - sorry for long explanation....
