Enabling "logoff detection", The firewall disconnect users after some minutes

I have problem with STAS.

When I enable the option "Logoff Detection" (follow this article: community.sophos.com/.../123020) in a few minutes all users are disconnected from firewall ("current users"). It is just possible to reconnect after each user make a logoff in the windows and log in.

  • Hi Herberth,

    That means the WMI query is failing. Start STAS and perform a WMI\Registry read access verification to user’s IP address. If query is failed, follow the steps:

    • Windows firewall or Antivirus could block WMI\Registry read access query. Add exception for TCP port 445 and 135 in client machine.
    • Make sure that RPC, RPC locator, DCOM, WMI services are enabled in the system.
    • Client machine should resolve AD FQDN, if not add host entry into machine or use AD IP as primary DNS.
    • If there is any router/firewall in between, make sure that port 135 and 445 is open.
    • Ensure that administrator account used in STAS is having administrator rights on client system.

    Any help? Also, what is the firmware version of XG.

  • Hi  Thank you.

    But my tests are all OK.
