SEC export configuration from "Device Control" and import this config to an other SEC

DenisSchröder over 7 years ago

Hello,

i have a problem with the SEC.

I want to build an new SEC (complete new) and only want to import the "Device Control" configuration from the old server.

I see that i can export the settings from the "old" SEC but find no function to import the configuration to the "new" SEC.

Have someone an idea?

Best regards Denis

Hi Denis,

Once the configuration file is exported, naming the file is very important in order to import it again. Please refer to the article Using ExportConfig.exe to create XML configuration files. Let me know if this helps resolve your query.

It's not possible to export and import all policy config between SECs. The only way to do this for all policies, device control being one of them, is to essentially follow the SEC migration procedure - www.sophos.com/.../enterprise-console.aspx, so the config is maintained as the database is the same.

You can use exportconfig and configcid to implement the policy at the CID/Distribution point level but this isn't really importing the config into the new SEC as such.
