Redirect any unprotected child SUMs to the new Update Manager

Child Sophos Update Managers protected by Sophos Endpoint Security and Control are automatically redirected to the new parent SUM by their updating policies.

For any unprotected SUMs, configure them manually to connect to the new parent SUM as follows:

  1. On the new server, copy the mrinit.conf and cac.pem files from the Sophos Enterprise Console folder.

    Windows version

    Default location

    32-bit

    C:\Program Files\Sophos\Enterprise Console

    64-bit

    C:\Program files (x86)\Sophos\Enterprise Console

  2. Go to each child SUM and carry out the following steps:
    1. Paste the mrinit.conf and cac.pem files to the Remote Management System folder.

      Windows version

      Default location

      32-bit

      C:\Program Files\Sophos\Remote Management System

      64-bit

      C:\Program files (x86)\Sophos\Remote Management System

    2. Open a command prompt window at the Remote Management System directory.
    3. Run the command ClientMrInit.exe -update.

You have finished redirecting unprotected child SUMs to the new Update Manager.
