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

Question

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
