    I have only been able to test on two machines, so far so good:

    • Disable your on access scanning for your sophos server and workstations via the policy.
    • Run the update manager on the server and check for an update.
    • Verify that the update completed.
    • Once update completed, update computers/servers.
    • Acknowledge the errors on the systems and they should not come back.
    • Re-enable the on access scanning for your sophos server and workstations via the policy.

    I acknowledge the errors on the Enterprise Console and then "clear from list" on one workstation.  So far so good.  On the other, I haven't cleared. I am waiting and watching.
