Install an additional update manager

This task shows you how to install an additional update manager.

Note If you want to install an additional Sophos Enterprise Console management console on the server on which you want to install an additional update manager, you must install the additional console first.

Go to the server on which you want to install an additional update manager. If you want the update manager that you will install on this server to update directly from Sophos, ensure that the server is connected to the internet.

The hostname of this server must be different to that of the other servers on which you install an update manager.

If Network Discovery is turned off, turn it on and restart the server.

If User Account Control (UAC) is turned on, turn it off and restart the server. You can turn UAC on again after you have installed the update manager and subscribed to Sophos updates.

Log on as an administrator.

  • If the server is in a domain, use a domain account that has local administrator rights.
  • If the server is in a workgroup, use a local account that has local administrator rights.

To install an additional update manager:

  1. Find the SUMInstallSet shared folder on the server on which you installed Sophos Enterprise Console.
  2. Double-click Setup.exe to run the installer.

    An installation wizard guides you through installation. Accept the default options.

You have installed an update manager that is managed by Sophos Enterprise Console.
