Before you perform this task:
- If you use role-based administration, you must have the Computer search, protection and groups right. For more information, see Managing roles and sub-estates.
- If you want to protect computers in synchronized groups automatically, make sure you have prepared the computers as described in Prepare for installation of security software.
- If you have a complex Active Directory structure and want to synchronize domain local groups or nested Active Directory groups, enable this functionality as described in knowledgebase article 122529.
To view and edit synchronization properties:
Note Only Windows workstations can be protected automatically. Computers running Windows server
operating systems, Mac OS, Linux, or UNIX cannot be protected automatically. You
must protect such computers manually, as described in the Sophos Enterprise Console advanced startup
guide.
