Uninstall and Repair Endpoints via Sophos Enterprise Console
The uninstall and repair options via console would make it easier to manage a large number of machines, mainly because sometimes it is difficult to get access to some of them.

Disable Tamper Protection through Command Line
Hi,
Somethimes, managing 1000+ or even 5000+ machine its difficult, even more if we don't have built-in features in the console to remediate/uninstall corrupt/broken installations.
But, the main problem is not that. The problem is that we CANNOT disable Tamper Protection remotely to reinstall/remove Sophos AV, in the following cases:
1) Console was erased/failed and there's no cert/db/registry backup (all Endpoint with Tamper enabled)
2) Broken installations dont apply Tamper Policies (to disable it)
3) Migrated console (don't have the old one).All this would be solved by having the chance to disable Tamper through Command Line. Example
Case A:…

search for sever by IP address in Sophos Console
searching for servers by IP will be great to manage if we manage hundreds servers.
Hosting companies are not friendly with the clients hostname.
It would be very useful to be able to search and identify servers.
So please add the option under Server Protection > Servers > The IP address searching.1 vote -
Restriction to Discover Computers
Problem:
We are using Sophos in a multivendor environment which contains over 200,000 clients. The "Discover Computers" button is available for every Sophos admin, because there is no option to restrict this feature. Regularly somebody who is looking for a client presses the discover computer button. Now every network device which is reachable will be imported into the Sophos Enterprise Console and listed as an "unmanaged device". If we don't restart the SEC, sometimes more than 200,000 “unknown devices” are listed in the default "unassigned" group. We can delete these clients but they will remain in the Sophos database until…27 votes -
Enterprise Console REST API
Provide a REST (or other) API into SEC. Basic features such as creating groups, assigning policy, adding/deleting/moving machines would be immensely helpful. Nearly all major software applications now have some form of accessible API that allows common tasks to be automated. This idea was suggested back in early 2015, but sadly was denied.

AD Sync For Deleted Machines
I would be really nice to have AD sync to update when machines are deleted out of AD. As it stands right now, the AD administrator must inform the SEC administrator that machines have been deleted.

In reports can we get in detailed report (eg. Out of Date Computers- Computer Name, Username, Location/group, IP Address, Last updated Date)
In reports can we get in detailed report like below:
1. Out of Date Computers- Computer Name, Username, Location/group, IP Address, Last updated Date
2. Up to Date Computers- instead of count can you provide all system details like Computer Name, Username, Location/group, IP Address, Last updated Date
3. Authority to select required column in all kind of reports which is available in Console so we can customize the same as per our need4 votes -
https AutoUpdate
In order to add extra security to our company’s Sophos Endpoint (Anti Virus) Update proceedings I was going to change Primary update source to URL like described in the following link.
https://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/38238.aspx
Nevertheless according to these two posts from Forum it seems not to be possible to call Update URL using HTTPS
https://community.sophos.com/products/endpoint-security-control/f/16/t/4332
https://community.sophos.com/products/endpoint-security-control/f/16/t/2630Sending Credentials / Password without encryption is no option for us at all.
Thus it would be really helpful to have UpdateManagement working well with https.

AV sample submission with Sophos Enterprise Console
If I have a suspicious file which I want to deliver to Sophos labs for analysis I always have a risk.
1. I need an established Internet connection to reach Sophos Upload portal.
2. I need a mail-account (and also connection to the internet) to send the file.If the file is recognized as Mal/Gen I maybe cannot clean with the console, until a specific signature is created. So I have to upload this file. In worst case the file is on a remote location without IT on side.
To get this file I have to connect to the machine,…48 votesAs part of the policy controls for Sophos Live protection you have the option to enable auto sample submission to Sophos.
The option to allow the identification of suspect files and then allow the administrator to periodically select which ones to send to Sophos is one of many options we are evaluating to improve sample collection from customers.
In the interim sophos has added Sophos Clean, a new standalone next-generation malware detection and removal product that can be used on a machine that is suspected of being infected, but currently no detections are being reported. Sophos Clean is available for a 30 day evaluation at no charge. Often new malware that evades the existing detection models for the Endpoint can be captured through the signitureless detection capabilities in sophos clean. Sophos clean is a second opinion scanner.

Sophos Firewall monitoring mode for windows 8 and 10
Instead of trying to reinstate the interactive mode firewall to create rule sets, enable monitoring back at the console. At least we can scan through and create a rule without having to add it manually. Thank you

Microsoft Exclusion Templates (e.g. SQL, Exchange, AD,...) 3rd Party Backup
I would really like the option to enable exclusions based on Microsoft Recommendations. Once a year I manually go through the published recommended exclusions for Microsoft and other software (e.g. backup) and ensure I have those in my exclusions. It would be great (and save me a lot of time) if I had the option to check which exclusions I wanted.
This seems to already be partially implemented in Sophos Cloud Server.14 votesSome extended exclusion capability is now available in the endpoint, details are in the help under “Specifying scanning exclusions”

Improve Wildcard Criteria
Improve the Wildcard criteria for File Exclusions, inline with MS KB article KB822158.
So that *.* or say Edb*.log can be excluded rather than having to open up the entire folder or a blanket exclusion on all files with the extension.log etc
Thereby improving granularity and allowing exclusions to be very specific to named O/s files.
Examples being:
FileIDTable_*
Ntfrs*.*
