Configure the additional update manager

You need to configure the additional update manager.

1. In Sophos Enterprise Console, on the View menu, click Update Managers.
2. Configure the additional update manager to use the main update manager as its update source:
   1. In the Update managers pane, select the additional update manager. Right-click it and click View/Edit configuration.
   2. In the Configure update manager dialog box, on the Sources tab, click Add.
   3. In the Source Details dialog box, in the Address box, select the share to which the main update manager downloads software.
      The Username and Password boxes are automatically populated with the credentials that are needed to access this share.
   4. If you access the update source via a proxy server, select the Use a proxy server to connect check box. Type the proxy server Address and Port number. In the Username and Password boxes, type the credentials that give access to the proxy server. If the username needs to be qualified to indicate the domain, use the form domain\username.
   5. Click OK to close the Source Details dialog box.
      The share to which the main update manager downloads software is listed on the Sources tab of the Configure update manager dialog box.
3. Configure the update manager to use the subscriptions that you set up earlier:
   • On the Subscriptions tab, make sure that the subscriptions are in the Subscribed to list. If not, select the subscriptions in the Available list and click the > button to move them to the Subscribed to list.
4. If you want to download to shares other than \\server name\SophosUpdate:
   1. Click the Distribution tab.
   2. Make sure that the subscription that you want to use is selected in the list at the top of the tab.
   3. Click Add.
   4. In the Browse For Folder dialog box, browse to one of the shares. Click OK.
   5. Select the share in the Available list and click the > button to move it to the Update to list.
   6. To enter a description for the share, or credentials to write to it, select the share and click Configure. In the Share Manager dialog box, enter the description and credentials.
   7. Repeat these steps for each share.
5. Click OK to close the Configure update manager dialog box.
   The software that you have selected is downloaded to the shares that you have specified during the next scheduled update.
