Sophos Enterprise Console
Some features, including anti-virus protection, are always selected and must be installed. You can also select to install the features listed below. Some of the features are available only if your license includes them.
■
Firewall
Before installing the firewall on computers, make sure you have configured the firewall to allow the traffic, applications, and processes you want to use. By default, the firewall is enabled and blocks all non-essential traffic. See
Firewall policy (page 112).
■
■
Patch
Third-Party Security Software Detection
Leave Third-Party Security Software Detection selected if you want to have another vendor's software removed automatically. The Third-Party Security Software Detection uninstalls only products with the same functionality as those you install. If you need to
remove another vendor's updating tool, see Remove third-party security software (page
48).
3. On the Protection summary page, any problems with installation are shown in the Protection
issues column. Troubleshoot the installation (see
Sophos Endpoint Security and Control installation failed
(page 210)), or carry out manual installation on these computers (see the
Sophos Enterprise Console advanced startup guide ). Click Next.
4. On the Credentials page, enter details of an account which can be used to install software.
This account is typically a domain administrator account. It must:
■
■
Have local administrator rights on computers you want to protect.
Be able to log on to the computer where you installed the management server.
■
Have read access to the Primary server location specified in the Updating policy. See
Configure update servers (page 72).
Note: If you are using a domain account, you must enter the username in the form
domain\user
.
If the computers are on different domains covered by the same Active Directory schema, use the Enterprise Administrator account in Active Directory instead.
5.4 Locate installers for protecting computers manually
If Enterprise Console is unable to install anti-virus, firewall, or patch features on certain computers automatically, you can perform the installation manually.
To locate the installers:
1. On the View menu, click Bootstrap Locations.
2. In the Bootstrap Locations dialog box, for each software subscription, you will see the locations that contain the software installers, as well as platforms that the software is supported on and the software versions. Make a note of the location for the installer that you need.
For information about how to install security software manually on different operating systems, see the Sophos Enterprise Console advanced startup guide .
