Endpoints not installing updates

I have about 20 endpoints that are down and can't reach the sus.sophosupd.com. 

I've ran a trace and it looks like it doesn't even leave the server. Windows firewall maybe?

Getting errors in the log

I have a feeling its network related as this is only a small group but any insight?

  • The error code 12002 is returned from the WinHTTP library when making a connection to the server and means the connection timed out:

    WinHttp: 12002 ERROR_WINHTTP_TIMEOUT

    This would suggest the client can resolve sus.sophosupd.com but can't connect to it.

    If the WinHTTP library can't resolve the address being queried for you get 

    WinHttp: 12007 ERROR_WINHTTP_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

    In this case, I suspect if you open Process Explorer, call update now, check the details of SophosUpdate.exe and look at the TCP/IP tab you will see it stuck in a SYN_SENT state.

    This is most likely due to a firewall. From the client, and from a PowerShell prompt, the output of 

    Test-NetConnection -Port 443 -ComputerName sus.sophosupd.com

    would be interesting. Specifically the TcpTestSucceeded value.
