Sophos duplicates Mac OS 10.8.1

[tkimpton]

Previously duplicate machines in the Sophis Enterprise Console used to be fixed in the /etc/smb.conf by specifying the workgroup.

Unfortunately in Mac OS 10.8+ there is no /etc/smb.conf

At the mo there is no fix and i had to spread to 3 different people at Sophos to explain what the problem is.

cheers mate. Unfortunately our SEC (Sophos Enterprise Console) is on Windows

10.8.1 client when entered with that says

No operation specified nor update requested

Thanks for looking though

I have fixed it manually. It is the Workgroup gui field in the WINS tab

I ran into this issue myself so I thought I would post what has seemed to work in early testing.
Modify this file in the package that you intend to deploy for your Sophos AV installation:
SophosAntiVirus.mpkg/Contents/Packages/SophosRMS.mpkg/Contents/Resources/agent.configuration

It should look similar to this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARESophos] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARESophosRemote Management System] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARESophosRemote Management SystemManagementAgent] "ServiceDescription"="Management Agent for Sophos applications"
"ServiceArgs"=""
"ServiceHomeDir"="/Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/RMS/"
"DomainNameOverride"="YourDomainHere"
