Install an additional remote management console
You might want to install another instance of the Sophos Enterprise Console management console on another computer, so that you can manage networked computers conveniently.
If you do not want to, skip this section.
To install an additional management console:
If User Account Control (UAC) (on Windows Server 2008 or later and Windows Vista or later) is turned on, turn it off and restart the computer. You can turn UAC on again after you have installed the management console.
Log on as an administrator.
- If the computer is in a domain, use a domain account that has local administrator rights.
- If the computer is in a workgroup, use a local account that has local administrator rights.
When the wizard has finished, log off or restart the computer (the final page in the wizard shows which). When you log on again, Sophos Enterprise Console opens automatically. If the Download Security Software Wizard runs, cancel it.
If you turned off User Account Control before installation, you can now turn it on again.
To enable other users to use the additional management console:
- Add them to the Sophos Console Administrators group and the Distributed COM Users group on the server on which you have installed the management server.
- Assign them to at least one Sophos Enterprise Console role and sub-estate.
