Initial install source help

I've been having trouble with using the 'protect' function in SEC. We have a synchronised laptop group based on an AD OU. When a laptop syncs over I go along and use the protect function; this pushes out the update client and the iconn.cfg file. At this point the install becomes stuck unless I manually copy over a working iconn file from another laptop to the config folder. 

It seems the iconn file is defined in the 'Initial install source'; for us it defines a UNC path as \\[Server IP]\SophosUpdate

The primary update source we use is web, so the source is http://[Server IP]/sophos with a secondary address set as \\[server name]\SophosUpdate plus the credentials for this share. 

Why won't the clients update using the initial install UNC path? The error we get in the update logs is - 

CIDUpdateLocation::SyncProduct: Failed to update product (Sophos AutoUpdate) from "\\[Server IP]\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S001\SAVSCFXP\", Error is :CIDSYNC_E_SRCNOTFOUND (Source not found.)

My initial thoughts were a permissions issue, but if I'm using my domain admin account details in the protect function and I can navigate to the initial install source in my own PC surely this isn't the issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hello Mike,

    there should be at least a hint why the source hasn't been found in the preceding lines.

    Protect should create a task running setup.exe with the required parameters (-updp for the initial path) which should customize the iconn.cfg so that AutoUpdate can complete the install. What's in the non-working iconn.cfg?
