Hi Ian, We use SOPHOS in CFA and, sorry, I couldn't quite follow you question. What exactly are you trying to do and what tool are you trying to use?
We use the method of installing on each workstation from a CID (at each workstation) which then causes SOPHOS to update automatically. (ala the second part of your email) Time consuming but the only way I could see to do it. As far as using SAV Admin to push the installation out I don't think you can. SAMBA only provides you with an 'NT' like server for sharing of drives and printers. Even if you were running Linux on an x86 platform it wouldn't have the services and function calls required for SAV Admin to do it's job.
