It allows for deployment across a wide area network with multiple updating locations. Upgrading from earlier versions ------------------------------- Please see http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/2609.html Known issues ------------ * (CR 26650) If you upgrade the EM Library console from version 1.3 to 1.3.2 using the standalone EM Library installer, it may not be possible to reconnect the console to a library. The right-hand pane of the EM Library console may be blank, or may display the message "Action canceled". Note that upgrades to the EM Library console using the Sophos Enterprise Console installer are unaffected. To work around this problem, uninstall the EM Library console and then reinstall it. You can now connect the console to the library. * If you install the management server (EM Library plus Enterprise Console) on a Windows 2000 server, it will sometimes need to be restarted afterwards. * During installation, a "Network account configuration wizard" offers to create a local "EMLibUser" account automatically. If you are installing EM Library on a domain server, you cannot use this option. You must create an EM Library user account on Active Directory, and then select that user account in the account configuration wizard. * (CR 18623) When installing a remote library on a computer running Windows XP SP2, the installation fails with an error.
