quick startup guide
Note: If you used Remote Desktop for installation, the console does not open automatically. Open it from the Start menu.
The wizard guides you through selecting and downloading protection software. You should do as follows:
1. On the Sophos download account details page, enter the username and password printed on your license schedule or your evaluation credentials. If you access the internet via a proxy server, select the Access Sophos via a proxy server check box and enter the proxy details.
2. On the Platform selection page, select only the platforms you need to protect now.
3. If your license includes encryption, on the Software type page, select Encryption if you want to download it now.
When you click Next, Enterprise Console begins downloading your software.
4. On the Downloading software page, downloading progress is displayed. Click Next at any time.
5. On the Import computers from Active Directory page, select Set up groups for your computers if you want Enterprise Console to use your existing Active Directory computer groups.

If you turned off User Account Control before installation, you can now turn it on again.
11 Create computer groups
If you used the Download Security Software Wizard to set up your computer groups (based on
your Active Directory groups), skip this section. Go to Set up security policies
(section 12).
Before you can protect and manage computers, you need to create groups for them.
1. If Enterprise Console is not already open, open it.
2. In the Groups pane (on the left-hand side of the console), ensure that the server name shown at the top is selected.
3. On the toolbar, click the Create group icon.
A "New Group" is added to the list, with its name highlighted.
4. Type a name for the group.
To create further groups, go to the left-hand pane. Select the server shown at the top if you want another top-level group. Select a group if you want a sub-group within it. Then create and name the group as before.
