All Computers Always Out-Of-Date

Sophos Enterprise Console 4.5.1.0 with about 2700 clients.  All computers show as out of date, even though most of them updated about 3 hours ago.  When is a machine considered out of date?  Can that be set somewhere?

Thanks all.

  • May I ask why it is set to 12 hours? The default value is 60 minutes - with the option to set it shorter. As IDEs are rolled out several times a day if necessary 12 hours is far from optimal. An idle check doesn't cost that much and a decent server should be able to handle 3000 clients checking every 15 minutes.
    Note that you can schedule the software updates (as opposed to threat detection) to off-peak hours.
