[Solved] Sophos Enterprise Console - Updating external Users - How to configure?

GerhardKrickl

Hi,

i have read through faqs and forums, but its not clear to me.

We have Sophos Enterprise Console (5.3.0) with approx 50 clients. Some of them are never on site with a Laptop.

How do they receive Updates?

Should they access my enterprise console from outside?(is the enterprise console running an webserver, or how does it work?)

can they get the updates from a sophos webserver? (if yes, which credentials should they use)

thx for any advice

    Hello Gerhard Krickl,

    never on site
    indeed never? How do you install SESC on them, would you like to manage them or not? BTW: Did you consider the Cloud product (I'm not a Cloud evangelist and don't know the pricing and feature details but I thought I'd mention it).

    Basically you have to options (a "public" share is out of the question):
    1. a web CID (the default updating mechanism is SMB/UNC) - IIS is not required, could be some other web server as well
    2. Sophos as Secondary (for managed) or only (for stand-alone) update location, credentials are your license credentials (while obfuscated on the endpoint you can't control their use) 

    Feel free to ask if you have additional questions

    Thx Christian.

    Yes, they are once a month on site shortly, and of course also for the initial installation.

    I entered Sophos with my licence credentials as Secondary. Works!

    Thanks !
