Has anyone installed Sophos using special characters
Good morning, we have the task to mass deploy Sophos AV. The problem is when I run the command it seems KACE does not recognize special characters such - -- . But when I run the batch created by KACE located on the programdata\dell\kace\software where the dashes go KACE replaces them with random characters and the installation does not proceed. Unfortunately, Sophos MSI does not take password and user settings. Any comments or help I will appreciate it. Below is the command I have to use.
setup -mng no -updp sophos -user XXXXXXXX -pwd XXXXXXXXXXX -s -ni

After talking to KACE support, KACE does not recognize special characters. Here is the solution
setup.exe "-mng no -updp sophos -user XXXXXXXX -pwd XXXXXXXXXXX -s -ni"
Add quotations at the beginning of the special command, don't forget to close quotations.

I found that creating the script and saving it on a different machine in notepad made that problem go away. I'm sure it had something to do with the file format or something.
Here is the script we use to install sophos:
\\XXXXXX\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S005\SAVSCFXP\setup.exe -mng yes -updp \\XXXXX\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\SAVSCFXP\ -user XXXXXX -pwd XXXXXX -s -ni - AFCUjstrick 10 years ago
