Install Virtualization Scan Controller

Warning Make sure the Virtualization Scan Controller computer and the endpoint computers have their clocks synchronized.

These instructions assume that you have a standalone installation of Sophos Enterprise Console.

Note If you have a distributed installation (Sophos Enterprise Console components on different servers).

To install Virtualization Scan Controller:

  1. Extract the Virtualization Scan Controller files to the computer where you have Sophos Enterprise Console installed, if you haven't done so already.
  2. Open a command prompt window and change to the directory to which you extracted the Virtualization Scan Controller files.
  3. Use a text editor to open the file SavScanController.exe.config and check the number of the port used to communicate with the local management server. The default port number is 80. If a different port number was specified during the management server installation, the same port number should be specified in SavScanController.exe.config.
  4. Enter SavScanController install and press Enter to start the installation.

We recommend that you register Virtualization Scan Controller as a Windows service.
