Enterprise console migration

Currently running EC 5.3.1 on an old W2003 server. Would like to migrate endpoint to a new 2012 R2 server. Going back and forth from several migration docs and just starting over from scratch on the new server. Is there anyone who has started over an just re-protected the endpoints? if so, are there any "gotcha's" I haven't found any documentation other than support telling me its ok to do that....but they never give me any specific steps.

I'm not running encryption and not really concerned about losing history if it makes the transition easier.

I also read this statement in the forums which makes no sense:

I called Sophos support about 5 months ago as I had an issue with some machines not updating.  After getting those fixed, I asked about moving to a new server and the tech told me the exact solution you quoted.  Complete uninstall, registry clean and then reinstall on the other one.

  • Hello LinkToThePast,

    don't shoot the messenger [:)] (I'm not Sophos BTW)

    The Downloads section will show you the products available with your license. If there isn't any Encryption (I'm on a legacy "hybrid" license so I can't tell what you should see) you should take this to your reseller (or whoever supplied the license) or customercare@sophos.com.

    IIRC a custom SafeGuard 5.60/5,61 (FDE or SDE or by whatever name it went at this time) integrated with SEC was shpped with SEC 5.1 for select licenses. I took part in the Beta and at GA time it already looked like it wouldn't be pursued in the future (my opinion/observation only). 5.61 can't handle BitLocker and doesn't support post-W7 platforms so the retirement wasn't unexpected. BTW - looks like the free Encryption products have been withdrawn as well ...
