15 Verify your installation package
After the installation package has been created, we recommend you verify if you are able to install, update, and manage computers using the package that has been created.
To do this:
1. Identify a standalone computer that is part of your local network to be used as an endpoint computer.
2. Deploy the installation package to the endpoint computer.
3. Ensure the installation is successful and check the following functionalities:
• Updating: To verify if the endpoint computer is downloading updates from Sophos Enterprise
Console, in the endpoint computer, right-click the Sophos protection system tray icon and click Update now . The endpoint computer should be able to download updates from Sophos
Enterprise Console.
• Management: To verify if Sophos Enterprise Console is managing the endpoint. In Sophos
Enterprise Console window, ensure the Sophos protection icon besides the endpoint is not grayed out, and it does not have a red cross or a yellow exclamation mark.
After verifying the installation package, you can deploy it to the customers' computers.
