We recently ran into a situation where sophos EC "crahsed" on the original server that hosted it. After many frustrating weeks of dealing with support, we removed all things Sophos from the server... Oops! This was done in haste and no certificate backups were taken.
Since then, we have reinstalled EC, Management Server and SUM on a fresh server. Clients are showing up and reporting to the new EC; however, they are still attempting to download their updates from the old SUM and showing as Out of Date in the new EC. I have been pushing the updates to the SophosUpdate folder on the old server; however, this server will soon be gone completely, so this is not a viable long term solution.
I have used the HTA provided by Jak and the one provided by Sophos. I have been pushing this to clients via GPO for 2-3 weeks, but they still try to hit the old server.
What other options do I have? Very frustrating!
Rant!: I am an advid Sophos supporter and reccomend it to others in the IT world as often as I can, but we continue to have these little issues that make management a pain! Planning to move to the Sophos Web Control Appliance in the new year (replacing Websense), but these frustrations are starting to make me thing twice!
