Sophos Mobile on-prem migration - platform support Exchange 2013

Hi - I had noted requirements of Mobile Central from a few months ago and noticed those have now changed. Today I checked them again and noticed that Android 7.x was dropped from the list, and more importantly Exchange 2013 is mentioned as support is dropped for it. We have Exchange 2013 currently, but are transitioning to O365 later this year - many months from now.

Is this more of a officially we don't support Exchange 2013 but it still works situation or will there be some sort of check that says nope you are not working because Exchange 2013 was detected. I wanted to get started on this migration but now I don't know how to proceed with this situation. Is there a way to stay on the previous version in Sophos Central Mobile - the one that officially supports Exchange 2013 until we decommission those later this year?

Thanks!

Hi Moltron5k,

Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum.

Do you know if you are using the Sophos Mobile EAS Proxy on your environment as well? In some of our documentation, I see it mentioned that access control through PowerShell is supported, however, the release notes state that Exchange 2013 is not.

Improvement of the External EAS Proxy with Office 365 - Supported
Set up email access control through PowerShell - Supported
Sophos release notes > Central > Sophos Mobile > All Versions > Requirements - Unlisted

Allow me some time to inquire internally about this. I will update you here.

Kushal did you fine out anything? I installed a standalone EAS Proxy - latest version, and got that working on a few devices. Seems to work fine. Still don't know if it'll work fine for Central though. Can't seem to find the answer to that. Thinking about it - its the same EASProxy whether in Central or on-prem, so in theory I think it would work. I have a support case open as well, and they don't want to answer this either.

The only limitation currently is; If you were to encounter issues on Exchange or with the EAS Proxy (If you're still running unsupported versions), our support team will not be able to assist.
