Deploying Sophos Central with PDQ Deploy
Has anyone successfully used PDQ Inventory to deploy Sophos Central anti-virus endpoint?
I've created a package, added the .exe file, and added the /S switch for silent install, but it isn't installing. The install takes 10 minutes when run manually, but my package just says running and doesn't progress. I left it for 30m mins before I cancelled it. Not sure what to do next, I'm quite new to PDQ Deploy.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan, are you sure its /S and not --quiet ? (two dashes)

Didn't work, but the search link next to the parameters box brought up this useful article so I'll keep plugging away: https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000033327?language=en_US
Thanks,

Hi,
at least something good came from it. I saw the -s switch for the silent installation in the link you provided and hope it will work for you.
There are some commonly used switches but they are very often also case sensitive.
Best practice in such case is to use either -? or /? - most installers return a list of switches after this
The other option is to use google and the keywords silent install(ation), unattended install(ation) etc.
