missing poa or key information. please check computer's inventory 6.1

Hi paresh palav 

I agree with Michael for the reason behind this error. Apart from that below two could be the reason for the above mentioned error.

• Database Inconsistencies are reported by the Management Center those have not been repaired.
• Duplicate objects of the SafeGuard Client exist in the Database.

Please make sure, you don't have any of this issue with your Safeguard environment.

Hi Jasmin,

We need urgent support from your end as we have seen this issue on many users.

Also we have yesterday raised case with you (9267496) and we are trying to connect you but unfortunately connected with you.

Kindly look this matter on the priority base & help us.

Hi paresh palav 

Please go to the root and then search these machines in the inventory and remove the device entry which doesn't have anything under it.

Ah well done!

Yes, this is an issue - the devices should only appear once in the console, not twice. 

This sometimes happens if AD sync doesn't work as expected. The object can go into a temp folder (auto.registered) but then when AD syncs it goes into the correct location within the sync'd directory. This happens when the client is new to the domain and it speaks to the Sophos server before the Sophos server speaks to AD and realises it exists!

Could you please double click each one in turn - The following windows will be seen...

This is NORMAL view and the client we must KEEP (it's populated with INVENTORY and communicating with the server as expected)

This is the "forgotten" view - no INVENTORY present

It's the SECOND entry we need to remove. DON'T TOUCH THE FIRST ONE WITH POPULATED DETAILS!

Hi Micheal,

We have initiated the remote session & found that below things:

-When We search the affected system in an entire directory then we found the two hostname objects but cant find any hostname  in root search(Find the attached snap).

-

This is the only hostname which is showing the duplicate entry and another system are displaying proper as per your attached snap.

-We have tried to recover 3 -4 system under Tool>>Recovery

    -Here ,We observe some system having mising POA issue and some system are able to recover

-

as You can see in the above section that the first highlighted host display the above message and second hostname is showing the correct .

-When we search and try to enter the both hostname one by one ,displays the "Missing POA".

Kindly look in to this & support us 9267496 not received the proper feedback.

Hi Paresh - I'm sorry, I'm still a little confused. The POA snap you took - that's an image from an old post, so not an image taken by yourself?

If you're saying that when double clicking on one of the duplicated results you see the Inventory tab populated and when you click on the other it says missing POA?

I'm not sure what you're explaining with your last snap?

I'm sorry I don't work for Sophos - I'm just another customer like yourself. I've been using the product a few years now and know it quite well but Sophos support may be able to help further?

Hi Micheal,

Thanks for the update .

Just to update you,

this issue is facing we in multiple clients.

Also the current affected system is having two host entry and when we tried to recover both host one by one ,the Missing POA error occurs.

Do you have any idea "how we can check if this issue can be caused by database inconsistency,do you have any document?".

Thanks.

Hi paresh palav 

They will try to contact as soon as possible but I still request you to contact support over the call if you need immediate assistance. Please let me know what are you receiving while contacting Support on mentioned numbers.

When opening the SafeGuard Management Center the following warning message is displayed:

We have found inconsistencies in your database, which should be corrected quickly. Please contact Sophos Support for further assistance.

HI Jasmin,

I just received call from the support & resolve this issue now.

Cause -Duplicate host name and deleted the blank hostname.

Thank you for the support

Hi paresh palav 

I am glad that your issue has been resolved. Whenever you have issue of duplicate entry, delete the entry which doesn't have any inventory or the user assigned as I mentioned in my previous post.

Please let us know in case you face any other issue via another post of Community.
