Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X: installing on to an OS X disk image

What to do

  1. Set up the operating system to your requirements including all patches, etc. Sophos Anti-Virus is the last thing that you add to the image.
  2. Download the Sophos Anti-Virus.mpkg file from the Enterprise Console Central Installation Directory (CID) to the machine.
  3. Unplug the network cable (or disconnect the machine from the network).
  4. Install Sophos Anti-Virus.
  5. Take your image (without re-connecting to the network).

Because the machine was not connected to the network when Sophos Anti-Virus was installed, Remote Management System (RMS) did not managed to connect to the console and is therefore still in a fresh state. If you then turn these images into NetBoot images, or static images for the machine, the first time they connect to the network, RMS will contact the console.

If you need more information or guidance, then please contact technical support.
