About Awaiting Policy Transfer and Up to date problems

Sophos Enterprise Console is 5.2.1.197

Sophos Endpoint is 10.3

We have around 260 Managed computer.

Recently , there are around 10 of computers show Awaiting Policy Transfer in the Console all the time.

It's also show Up to date "not since xxxxxxxx" .

However all of the virus definition is up to date in these 10 computers, I view the updating log in client side, there is no error and the log show that it can download the updates from the Sophos Server.

What should I do to fix these problems? 

There is an example photo, The ITD01 and ITD05 computer is online, but it show Awaiting Policy Transfer and not up to date now.

Thanks!

  • Hello Nok,

    could be that the endpoints are not communicating (note that the connected status is sometimes not correct) with SEC as they should. Go to the Computer Details tab and check the Last message time. Should be fairly recent, if not (and especially if it roughly corresponds to the Not since time) this suggests an RMS issue. You'd have to check the Message Router logs (%ProgramData%\Sophos\Remote Management System\3\Router\Logs\) then.

  • Thanks For your reply.

    I have checked the Computer Details (ITD01) . The last message received from computer is 8/12/2014 , which is same with the SEC.

    In the Router Logs, I search the word "ITD01" , it show the following:

    20.08.2014 08:17:36 3450 I RouterTableEntry state (router, logging on): Router$ITD01:72012 is active consumer (will try to notify), active supplier
    20.08.2014 08:17:36 3450 I Logged on Router$ITD01:72012 as a router

  • Hello Nok,

    apparently the endpoint's RMS can connect to the management server but fails to send its status. Please check the router as well as the agent logs on the endpoint (ITD10) - should be simple to locate this less-than-two-minutes interval. This could give a hint what's not working.

  • Hello Nok,

    initial connection is - as expected - apparently fine. One of the next lines should contain: Logged on Agent as a client. If there isn't please check if the Sophos Agent service is running. Also if you request Comply with ... from the console you should see the incoming message shortly after which should be followed by Routing to Agent: .... If these lines are missing then the communication between Message Router and Agent is failing.
