Just can't get Application Control to work

Hello all,

  I'm trying to test Application Control, prior to using it "for real", but I'm unable to simply get it working at all.

  We're running Enterprise Console 4.5.1.0 on Windows Server 2008 64-bit. I've created a new Application Control policy called "Block test" and assigned it to a group that has a single computer in it. "Enable on-access scanning" is ticked, and I've selected (just for a test) Windows Telnet and Putty, and put them in the Blocked list.

  The policy has been successfully pushed to the one client computer in the group according to Enterprise Console. The client is actually another Windows Server 2008 64-bit, with anti-virus version 9.5.5, VDL 4.64G. I can't see any reason why it being a Windows Server should make any difference, although I will try to test this with a Windows Vista or 7 machine soon. When I log onto that machine and try and run Putty, it works fine. Similarly if I open up a command prompt and run telnet, it works.

  I've checked the View -> Application Control Events in Enterprise Console - nothing appears.

  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help,

James.

  • Hello James,

    strange indeed. Did you test on-access scanning with eicar? Just to be sure.  On the client - the policy in effect can be found in %ProgramData%\Sophos\Remote Management System\3\Agent\AdapterStorage\SAV\APPCAdapterConfig (without extension, it's an XML file).
