Sophos Mobile Control Is Randomly Deleting Exchange Accounts from Users Phones Without Reason

We are relatively new to SMC, and have been rolling it out to about 100 users over the last 4 months.  We are using it to push Exchange accounts to user's cell phones.  Everything has been working fine, until today, when SMC started deleting the Exchange accounts from about 20 phones.  We do not have any settings enabled for any users that dictate Exchange accounts be removed or disabled, for any reason.  All of our non-compliance settings are just on a notify only setting.  

This is happening on both Android and iOS devices.  I cannot find anything in the logs in the Sophos Cloud web interface for these devices that indicates this was done.  But if open the SMC app on the phone itself, I see i the logs where the Exchange account was deleted.

This has really become an urgent issue for us, as we have some employees travelling internationally who have been affected.  Despite opening a ticket this morning, I cannot seem to get any reply from tech support, so trying all avenues.  Has anyone dealt with this before?

    That should be "travelling internationally"....

  • Did they get this resolved for you? We had the exact same issue that started at the same time. We were in the middle of deployment and had gotten about 30 people enrolled when it suddenly started removing exchange and wifi profiles. We've pulled it off of everyone's phones because sophos hasn't been able to give us a reason it happened or reassurance that it won't happen again.

  • Hi All,

    sorry for the late reply.

    The issue should be resolved in the meantime and was caused by a backend issue within Sophos Central.

    Best regards
    Stefan
