Deploy SEC 5.4 Using SCCM

Has anyone deployed SEC 5.4 Using SCCM?  Are there any command line switches that can be used?  Basically I just want to deploy additional SEC's to individual users PC's so they don't have to log onto the Sophos server itself to monitor.  Any advice would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks


Rob

  • Hello Rob,

    the post's subject is a little bit misleading - SEC usually refers to at least Management Server+Sum+Console. You "just" want to install a Remote Console.
    Anyway, the bootstrapper setup.exe has no command line mode. OTOH all (apart from the prereqs check) it does for a Console only install is copying a Business Objects DLL, preserving the table_router.txt, and installing the Consolexx.msi. Bypassing the bootstrapper setup.exe is definitely unsupported but you could take the necessary parameters for the MSI from the Sophos_bootstrapper log of a manual install. Haven't done this though.

    Is this an AD environment? Either the users on the workstations are domain users with the appropriate rights for accessing the management server and using the console or local accounts with the same credentials on workstation and server must exist.

  • Hi Christian


    Thanks a lot for your reply.  You're right about the title of the post and what I want to achieve.  I'll have a go at bypassing the bootstrapper as you've suggested and I'll update the thread when I've done this.

    It is an AD environment and I've configured access already.


    Thanks Again.
