Migration from Sophos Disk Encryption 5.61 to SafeGuard Enterprise
6.10 involves the following steps:
-
Export the Sophos Enterprise Console company certificate: In
Sophos Enterprise Console on
theTools menu, click Manage
Encryption and select Backup Company
Certificate. Select a destination directory and file name and
enter a password for the .P12 file when prompted.
-
Install SafeGuard Management Center and SafeGuard Enterprise Server.
Note If you have the Sophos Enterprise Console management
server with encryption installed on this server, install SafeGuard Enterprise on a different server.
For detailed information on SafeGuard Enterprise
installation, see the SafeGuard Enterprise 6.1 installation
guide.
-
In the SafeGuard Management Center configuration wizard, select a new database
to be created and import the company certificate exported before.
-
In SafeGuard Management Center, create the endpoint configuration package: On
the Tools menu, click Configuration Packages
Tool. Select Managed client packages,
make your edits and create the configuration package.
-
Deploy the configuration package to the endpoints. After the endpoints have
received it, they are able to connect to SafeGuard Enterprise Server. From that
time on, the endpoint can be managed by SafeGuard Management Center.
-
To prevent a communication issue that causes endpoint computers to communicate
with both the new SafeGuard Enterprise Server and the old Sophos Enterprise Console, see knowledge base article
121160.
-
In SafeGuard Management Center, create and assign policies as desired.
The migrated endpoints remain visible in Sophos Enterprise Console
as "managed by SafeGuard Enterprise". All non-encryption related
tasks can still be performed on them.
