  • HI,

    Is SEC installed on a domain member server?

    If so the SEC server should have a local group called "Sophos Console Administrators" and "Sophos Full Administrators".

    All users of SEC are required to be a member of "Sophos Console Administrators".  If you are also a member of "Sophos Full Administrators" you can set up Role Based Administration (RBA) to give users access to other admins.

    So is you Windows account a member of both of these groups and you have logged off and on since you added your account to these groups/installed?

    Regards,

    Jak

  • Ghiazza, were you able to solve the problem? I have the same error stack.

    Without smilies ...

     The solution that Jak offered did not work for us: we already had the user in the required groups.

    Perhaps it is an issue of our installation, where a Samba PDC reigns?

  • A ticket with Sophos Support showed that this is indeed an issue of running SEC 5.2 in a Samba 3 PDC environment.

    Due to the requirements of the WCF, there appears to be no solution to this other than going to Samba 4 (which is no short term option for us).

    A workaround is starting the SEC as a local user that is member of the appropriate groups, like the local Admin account.

    You can create a desktop shortcut for this, e.g.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\runas.exe /user:Administrator "C:\Programme\Sophos\Enterprise Console\EnterpriseConsole.exe"

  • try this configuration (it' s ok for me, SEC 5.2.2 and Samba vers 3.4.7) :

        -your domain user should not be present in the local users of your machine (otherwise remove)

       - typing for to execute entreprise Console : runas /user:administrateur EntrepriseConsole.exe

       - go in "gestion des roles et des sous-parc" and in the tab "administration des sous-parc", double-click on the sous-parc "par defaut"  and add your domain user...
