Download of Sophos AutoUpdate failed from server... incorrect CID location

Quick question... maybe. I've recently taking over administering Sophos Anti-Virus on our network. I've read through a lot of the forums here and it seems most people are managing very few computers. I'm managing 20,000+, so I'm looking to see if there's a different response than "re-install the Endpoint client."

Basically, we have our main SophosAV box and somewhere around 20 relays (I have not counted them). I am seeing a lot of updating errors that deals with computers clients pointing to the wrong CID files. So where as the actual CID folder on the relay is S033, the update is pointing to S038 and failing every single time. This is leaving me with a ton of errors (3,400 errors) thus far, and a ton of them are related to failing to download the updates.

Is there a location to easily change where the Endpoint client looks for update? If the bootstrap location of the update is in S038, and the updating policies for the relays are correct, then why is my client still looking toward S033 for the update? I'm really looking for a solution other than re-install the Endpoint client because pushing it to all of my clients is no small task, especially in this environment.

Appreciate any help.

  • Running console 4.7.0.13 and the Endpoints are on 9.7. The server these are communicating with is pointing them to update at: http://5310fs01/SophosUpdate . Should that point all the way down to the correct CID folder as opposed to leaving it open like that? Every relay is pointing to that SophosUpdate folder, but some of the relays are indeed attempting to update off of an incorrect CID. So if I point that all the way down to the correct CID, will that solve this issue?
