  2. This Seminar… • Overview • Components — EM Library, Enterprise Console, Clients • OS requirements and product functionality • EM Library • In depth • Enterprise Console • In depth • Clients • In brief

  3. Overview

  4. Components • EM Library (essential) • Manages downloading of software from Sophos • Enterprise Console (optional — sort of) • Manages clients • Sophos Anti-Virus Clients (essential) • Client software for virus detection and disinfection

  5. Requirements — EM Library • Windows • Windows NT SP6a • Windows 2000 Professional or Server (SP3+) • Windows XP Professional (SP1+) • Windows 2003 Server • Requires MMC 1.2 • IE 5.5 SP2 or above

  6. Requirements — Enterprise Console • Windows 2000 (SP3+) or 2003 Server • If managing more than 10 PCs • Windows 2000 (SP3+) or XP (SP1+) Professional • If managing up to 10 PCs • May be used to define and export policies, regardless of PCs managed

  7. Function — EM Library • Downloads package updates from Sophos to a library according to a schedule • Default is c:\program files\sophos enterprise manager\library shared as SophosEM • Library can be remote or local • Optionally publishes packages to make them available to child libraries

  8. Function — EM Library • Pushes updates to Central Installation Directories (CIDs) • CIDs can be on remote servers (e.g. unix) • CIDs can be published via a web server • Clients check CIDs for updates and download as required

  9. Function — Enterprise Console • Deploy software to clients • Monitor status of client installations • Organise clients into groups • Define and apply updating and anti-virus polices to groups of PCs • Report on alerts etc.

  10. 1. EM Library pulls updates from Sophos according to schedule Clients Sophos Databank at sophos.com Library maintained by EM Library OS X OS X OS X 2. EM Library pushes updates to central installation directories (CIDs) Mac OS X 10.2+ CID on AppleShare compatible share 2000/XP/2003 CID on samba share 2000/XP/2003 CID on Windows share 2003 2003 2000 2003 2000 2000 2003 2000 XP XP XP XP 3. Clients check CIDS according to their schedule and pull updates from CIDs 2000/XP/2003 CID on Apache 2000/XP/2003 CID on IIS 95/98/Me CID on Windows share ME 98 95

  11. How does Enterprise Console fit in? • Not required to provide updates to clients • May be used to manage clients

  12. Documentation • Sophos enterprise solutions installation advisor • Sophos Anti-Virus Startup Guide • Knowledgebase • Ignore docs with references to Remote Updates, SAVAdmin • Look for EM Library v1.2, Enterprise Console 1.0, Clients 4.5 or 5.0 • http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/viruses/sophos/antivirus as a starting point

  15. Installation • Download required network installer from micros.oucs • Before installation on Domain Controller • Optionally create domain a/c with admin privileges • http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/2522.html • Global credentials used to access and update CIDs (Can be altered for individual CIDS) • Run installer • Server: es10sfx.exe (unpacks to \sec10) • Workstation: run es10wssfx.exe – if you run setup.exe from unpacked files it will fail (tells you only server supported!)

  16. Installation • To install EM Library only • \sec10\Serverinstaller\EMConsole\setup.exe • Post Installation • Patch MSDE 2000 engine (use MBSA to determine appropriate patches) • Not required if only installing EM Library (MSDE installed by Enterprise Console only) • Note EM Library creates share for EM Library installation files • Default is C:\Program Files\Sophos Enterprise Manager\console\bin\inst shared as EMLibInstaller
