Migrate Windows Endpoint to new management server

Hi,

i need, as subject, to migrate my windows endpoint from a management server with SEC5.1 to a new management server with SEC5.5.

You should know that the new Server is in another Microsoft Domain, but always in the same network.

I followed the instructions reported here: https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/116737 .

So, i created the .vbs script from new management console, and i executed on my Pc/Endpoint, but doesn't worked. Any changes was made.

This is the log (SophosReinit.txt):

  • Hello Emiliano Castelletta,

    what is did not work? As far as I can see the script ran successfully (the Failed to create Key: 2 suggests that you simply don't have Path installed on this machine). The endpoint did not appear in the new management console? Or you have errors on the endpoint?

  • Hi Christian,

    as you can see from the attached image, from the sophos update window, PATH, USER and PASSWORD are not changed. These are the same of the old SEC.

    This mean that i must change manually?

  • Hello Emiliano Castelletta,

    as you can see
    well, I don't know what the new path should be so how could I see? [;)]

    i must change manually?
    You don't enter the update location (or policy) in the EMU
    that creates the SophosReInit.vbs. What the script does is "just" redirecting the endpoint to the new management server. Please note that How to redirect ... states (emphasis mine) under ImportantPlease be aware that you have to manually re-apply the policy from the new Sophos Management Server to the endpoints that have been migrated using the script as the clients will not request the new policies automatically.

    The endpoint should "appear" on the new server in either Unassigned or optionally the group specified in the EMU. In the former case you'd have to move it to the appropriate group, in both case you then have to use Comply with ... to send the new policies to the endpoint.
