I'm getting an error whenever I try to sync the management center with AD. I get a "The Import Failed, Additional Information: Error on RecypteAEKForNewParent" has anyone seen this before? TIA
I had this exact issue on 5.40 a few months back. Call support and they will walk you through patching your server and management center. This error (If i recall correctly) is due to not performing AD syncs in a timely manner in which lots of AD objects moved and the MMC doesn't know how to handle it.
Ever since we fixed the issue, I made sure to setup a scheduled task to automate the AD sync every night. Might want to look into it once you get the server and MMC repaired.
Sophos sent out an email right after I opened my ticket explaining the issue (Dated 1/28/2010). Here it is:
