I built two Windows Server 2016 servers (one for Enterprise Console the other to test Sophos Protection to pull from Enterprise Console for definitions). (For name sake the servers names are: Anti-virus01 and Test01) On Anti-virus01, I installed SEC successfully and after installation, I installed Sophos Protection successfully by manually installing from the setup.exe in the SAVSCFXP folder (could not push Protect Computers from SEC). When I right-click the Sophos icon in the notification bar and click on 'Update Now' it contacts server just fine and checks for new packages.
Now I completed the Sophos Protection installation the same exact way on the second Windows Server (Test01), while initially, it contacts the server for updates and grabs the latest definitions, after a few minutes it cannot contact server after an 'Update Now'.
Other Information:
- Running SEC 5.5.0
- Running version 10.8 Sophos Protection
- Running servers in an isolated envrionment
- In SEC, I get the following error: ERROR: Could not find a source for updated packages [0x0000071] for the server Test01.
Which in return, I viewed the log on Test01 located in C:\ProgramDataSophos\AutoUpdate\logs\alc.log, that states it cannot contact server and to check if computer is connected to network with a Windows Error 1909, which keeps locking the local account it is attached to that is on Anti-virus01.
- The 'Primary Location Details' in Sophos Protection are the same on Test01 compared to Anti-virus01, but the password field is blank (not sure why). Anti-virus01 can still contact SEC, but not Test01.
- Test01 is connected to network and is able to send and receive data.
- I've tried testing it with and without firewall settings with no avail
- Username and Password is correct for 'Source Details' in SEC on Anti-virus01
Am I missing a step or is there something I am doing wrong and how do I fix so the password field in 'Primary Location Details' section of Sophos Protection pulls the correct password? Thank you.
