14 Appendix: Install with a distributed console
Important: Make sure the Virtualization Scan Controller computer and the endpoint computers have their clocks synchronized.
This section assumes that you have a distributed installation of Enterprise Console.
Note: If you have a standalone installation (all Enterprise Console components on a single server),
see Install Virtualization Scan Controller
(page 7).
Installation involves two steps:
■ Install the service.
■ Install the database.
14.1 Install the service
To install the Virtualization Scan Controller service:
1. Extract the Virtualization Scan Controller files to the computer where you have the Sophos management server.
2. Open a command prompt window and change to the directory to which you extracted the
Virtualization Scan Controller files.
3. Type SavScanController install and press Enter.
The service is installed. An error message indicates that you now need to install the Virtualization
Scan Controller database on the computer where you have the Sophos management database.
Make a note of the Database server and Database name shown in the message.
Error: Sophos Enterprise Console is configured to use a remote database.
Please refer to the Virtualization Scan Controller User Guide.
You will need the following information:
Database server: Hostname\Instance
Database name: Database
14.2 Install the database
To install the Virtualization Scan Controller database:
1. Go to the computer where you have the Sophos management database and extract the
Virtualization Scan Controller files.
2. Open a command prompt window and change to the directory to which you extracted the
Virtualization Scan Controller files.

Sophos Virtualization Scan Controller
3. Type SavScanController install <Hostname>\<Instance> <Database>
Make sure you enter the Hostname\Instance and Database values as they were displayed on the computer where you have the Sophos management server.
Press Enter to create the required tables in the database for Virtualization Scan Controller.
You should now continue to set up Virtualization Scan Controller in the same way as for a standalone installation of Enterprise Console. Go to
Register Virtualization Scan Controller
