Auto-update has stopped working

dennisl

One of our client computers hasn't updated since 15 April.

I've tried triggering an update without success. The Auto-update service on the computer is running ok.

Please see attached logs.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Dennis

    Hello Dennis,

    dragging should work, which browser? From the editor menu Insert image/video/file is an alternate option, choose From File upload.

    Hi Christian

    At the moment I'm on Firefox.Here are the 2 logs I found in the Logs folder but there's no ALUpdate though.

    Is it in a different location?

    Hello Dennis,

    ah, this is Central. this is the log (it's called ALUpdate in the on-premise SESC). It might be expedient to move this thread to the Central forum. Please join the Central group so that this thread can be moved if apt,
    Anyway, I see no obvious error in the updating log, the client seems to be fine. Where does it say the client hasn't updated, Central Admin or locally?

    Hi Christian

    In the console as attached . Sorry still not sure exactly where the log is. Assume it's somewhere in Logs & Reports?

    I've joined the other forum

    Kindly advise how it can be moved over?

    Hello  

    A computer would be out of date because the AutoUpdate service or any other service may not be running, and it could be due to a failed update at some point.

    Please have a look at this article to help identify and possibly troubleshoot the issue: LINKY

     

    edit: We have also moved your post to the Central forum.

    Hi Dennis,

    From the logs you initially sent it looks like it might be an issue with a Sophos Anti-Virus update.  I'd suggest trying the following:

    1. Disable Tamper Protection on the machine
    2. Rename the following folders
      1. C:\ProgramData\Sophos\AutoUpdate\cache\
      2. C:\ProgramData\Sophos\AutoUpdate\data\warehouse\
    3. Force an update on the endpoint and wait for this to complete
    4. If this still fails, collect a copy of these newest logs for us to analyze:
      1. C:\ProgramData\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Logs\SophosUpdate.log
      2. Sophos Anti-Virus Major Install log, Sophos Anti-Virus CustomActions Log, and Sophos Anti-Virus Uninstall Log all located under C:\Windows\Temp\

    Thanks MEric

    If I can't get the user to do it this afternoon, I'll report back in the morning

    Renamed the folders as suggested & the computer updated successfully.

    Many thanks for your assistance.
