Problems with Update Manager and no internet access.

PeterT

I am trying to configure my Update Manager but I do not have direct access to the Sophos website.

I have installed SophosEnterpriseConsole_4.5.

I have copies of Warehouse and CIDs from a Server that does have access to the Sophos website so I have copied these onto my Server's "SophosUpdateManager" share.

I now want to edit my "Recommended" Subscription and select "Windows 2000 and above" but I can not get to the form where you do this.

I get a message telling me to run the Download Security Software Wizard to configure the local update manager to download from Sophos. But as I don't have access to the Internet this is no use to me.

I have had this problem before and always managed to get it sorted out in the end so I know that what I am attempting to do is possible.

A couple of weeks ago when I had problems on another network I had to switch on the Windows Firewall service before I could get to the "Edit Subscriptions" form, but that service is running this time so it's something different this time.

If I run the "....\EnterpriseConsole\SUM\LogViewer.exe" the error message is :

"Failed to check update source status : 'Couldn't create catalogue sdds.local'.

Can anybody tell me what I need to do ?

Thanks

Peter

    Hello Peter,

    the message is - as said in the other thread - perhaps misleading. Please check the SUMTrace log - there is likely an error reported when the download/synch is attempted (it's in the first few lines). In a test environment I've seen 1219 (quite obscure and I didn't really solve it).
