Create a configuration file
You must create a configuration file on the computer where you have the Sophos management server.
Note If you have a standalone installation, this is the computer on which Sophos Enterprise Console is installed.
Create a text file that specifies which endpoint computers should be controlled by the Virtualization Scan Controller.
This file should put the computers into a number of lists. Typically, there will be one list of computers for each virtual machine host.
The following is a sample configuration file. It defines two lists. Both lists currently use the default settings.
[VM Host 1]
COMPUTERA.domain.name
COMPUTERB.domain.name
COMPUTERC.domain.name
[VM Host 2]
COMPUTER1.domain.name
COMPUTER2.domain.name
COMPUTER3.domain.name
...
...
COMPUTER12.domain.name
The following sections tell you how to:
- List computers using DNS or NetBIOS names.
- Specify how scans are run.
