Moving to a new Sophos server

I have a weird issue – a server caught in limbo. I have created a VB script using the tool that a Sophos tech told me about that will point my Sophos client servers from one Sophos master server (Sophos-old) to another Sophos master server (Sophos-new).

I have tested this script on 4 servers and it has run fine on those 4. They now point to Sophos-new for their policies and updates. On the 5th server, the resulting log file from the script looks fine (just like the other 4 servers). But it’’’’s not completely responding to either Sophos console.

From Sophos-old, the status says: Differs from policy.

On Sophos-new, it says: Awaiting policy update.

From Sophos-new, I select the computer, right click and say “Update the computer now… “ On the 5th server, the update log shows that it’’’’s communicating with Sophos-Old.

From Sophos-old, I select the computer, right click and say “Update the computer now… “  Nothing happens on the 5th server. Its log does not show any attempt to communicate with either Sophos server.

Oh, and I have rebooted the 5th server.

Has anyone come across this situation before?

  • You are correct. Since this is a public forum, I changed the ip addresses in the logs to mask them. The 14.109 is the client and the 14.159 is the new Sophos master. Server5 and Sophos-new are not the true names of the servers either.

    Sorry for confusing you. That was not my intention.
