Running SDU remotely on a Mac

I need to run the SDU on a Mac which is a few miles away. Is there anyway in which I can run SDU from the command line? I am used to running the GUI interface on my Macs, but I could do with a CLI version, just like there is on Windows. We have migrated to Sophos Central, if that helps. I've scoured the Community site but haven't found anything yet.

Cheers, Ian

Hi idtrimnell,

There are no supported options for remotely running the SDU On a mac. However, If you can SSH to the remote Mac you may be able to run the SDU via the terminal.

That is what I was really after. There doesn't seem to be a CLI version of SDU on the Mac, as far as I can see.

Hi idtrimnell,

Apologies, my bad I didn't think it through. As mentioned before we do not have any supported options for this and I just tried to do on my lab machine. I see that we can launch the SDU via terminal from /Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/Tools/SDU4OSX.app or mount the SophosDiagnosticUtility.dmg and then launch the application. Either way, it requires someone to manually accept the end user license agreement in the UI.

I will update you if I come across any other options to achieve this.
