deploy Endpoint Protection via group policy without enterprise console

Question

Hi, 
 i want to deploy Endpoint Protection in my network. 
 I followed the KB 119265, 120611 and 13090. 
 But in 13090 i need enterprise console wich i have not licensed. also i dont know wat is meant with "The subscription folder number (shown as ' Sxxx ' in the script below) should be changed to your associated subscription number. " where do i get this subsription number? or is this a enterprise console setting? 
 I use Sophos central. 
 
 is there a tutorial how to deploay via active directory without enterprise console? 
 
 thanks

https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/119265 links to https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/120611 and this has an example batch file to run SophosInstall.exe -q on machines. It tests if mcsclient.exe exists as a quick marker to save running it each time. 
 
 @echo off SET MCS_ENDPOINT=Sophos\Management Communications System\Endpoint\McsClient.exe IF "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" == "x86" GOTO X86_PROG IF NOT EXIST "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\%MCS_ENDPOINT%" GOTO INSTALL exit /b 0 :X86_PROG IF NOT EXIST "%ProgramFiles%\%MCS_ENDPOINT%" GOTO INSTALL exit /b 0 :INSTALL pushd \servername\share SophosInstall.exe -q Popd 
 
 So you create your batch file , e.g sophos,bat and put sophosinstall.exe in a shared location on the network. E.g. \server\share\sophos.bat \server\share\Sophosinstall.exe 
 https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/13090 is then provided as an overview on how to run a batch file using a startup script.

HI Bastian , 
 You may refer the post mentioned by Jak, as for the Sophos Enterprise console is on Premise Client . You don't need to install Enterprise console , the enterprise console is an option if any client do not want to manage the Sophos Endpoint from Cloud. Sophos Central is just launched and is not dependent on Enterprise console as they are hosted on Cloud and Enterprise console is on-premise . 
 IF the client is using an existing Enterprise console (Earlier management console ) then Cloud Migration tool is required to migrate to Cloud-based i.e. Sophos Central. 
 Hope this info would clarify your Query
