Mass deployment Sophos Central Client

Hi Ben,

If you're trying to limit the amount of network bandwidth usage consumed when installing Sophos onto systems, I suggest first ensuring you have a Server OS device at each of the sites you intend to deploy the endpoint client. 

On a Server, you can deploy the Update Cache. Once this is done, the systems at that site will try to use the local Server's cache to perform the download. 
Note: Once an Update Cache is deployed, a new installer package needs to be downloaded so any new installations are aware of the newly deployed cache system. 

If you wish to automate the deployment, you can do this by using an AD script. If you wish to limit how quickly you roll this out across your environment, you can apply the GPO to a small number of sites/devices at a time.

Hi,

As statet we have an organisatie with +/- 30000 computers. All the networktraffic to/from the Internet is screended by a proxy service.
We have to deploy the client on the scale of our country. Regarding your answer we shoud deploy tens of "site/saching-severs" , this is not realistic.
Scripting (GPO) is no option because of the Architecture guidelines in our IT infra. I agree with them. This is a kind of workaround.
So, i see still no options for a mass deployment of the Sophos Central client.
Any other suggestions are welcome

At last: thank you for your feedack!

With kind regards, Ben

Are there any other deployment tools you have available such as MDM or RMM software already in use?
