Without admin rights or System rights, you can't install many programs, especially programs like antivirus
ASKER
i know, thats why i am asking is it possible to install the software with admin rights and add to this script?
so basically it logs on with admin rights like net logon user something.....

To clarify Naz's #2... That would be done with the default domain group policy, or similar OU.
One 3rd party tool I like is PDQ Deploy. Easy to setup and use. Can also be installed on a workstation.
The free version may suffice in your case.

I was just wondering, why can't you use Sophos Enterprise Console to install the clients?
Why there is a need of script to install the clients?

Hi Sudeep,
sometimes this fails to install so i want to use script as a second option to check if AV is installed.

What errors you are getting while installing it from the Sophos Enterprise Console?
Are you making sure that the services required to install the Sophos client are started before pushing the agent from Console?
It requires three services like Remote registry, task scheduler and workstation service and server service running before you push the agents.
