How to Protect Network Computers without AD from SEC?

MohammadFaruk

I have SEC installed on my PC. Now I want to protect another PC's of my network through IP. I don't want to install Server OS (AD). I know user name & password of the remote pc. I can discover the pc's through SEC but can't install SOPHOS client on remote pc. What should I do?

    Hi,

    If needed you can always just manually run setup.exe at the clients by browsing to the SophosUpdate share on the server.  

    www.sophos.com/.../12386.aspx

    I'm not sure how many computers you need to protect but as this is a one time event that could be one option.  setup.exe takes a number of switches to make the install silent if you need to script the install at scale.

    As soon as the computer reports back and is managed, all the management from SEC is possible.

    That said, you should be able to protect computers from the server but the account you enter in the deployment wizard needs to be able to log on to the management server, so say you have a workgroup:

    Computer SEC and Comp1 with the following local accounts:

    sec\admin

    comp1\admin2

    In the deployment wizard you can't enter comp1\admin2 to deploy to comp1 as this account can't logon to the SEC server.

    In a workgroup scenario you need a common admin account on each computer.

    Hope it helps.

    Regards,
