Copy the below code to a notepad and rename as a batch file. e.g. InstallSAV.bat
@ECHO OFF
REM — Check for an existing installation of Sophos Anti-Virus
if exist “C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\SavService.exe” goto _End
REM — Deploy to Windows 2000/XP/2003
\\servernamehere\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\SAVSCFXP\Setup.exe -s \ -user domain\username -pwd passwordhere -mng yes
REM — End of the script
:_End
Replace ‘servernamehere’ in both locations.
Replace ‘Domain\Username’
Replace ‘passwordhere’
Always test on one machine before pushing out to all.
Thanks for this
The one on Sophos website is for the old version
You get there before Sophos did.
By the way, how do i get it to install without being visible to the user?
You have just saved me a few hours of work per week. I would recommend this script to anyone. It’s great!
