Server Protection - Hitman Pro Alert can't be installed

Hello,

I installed Sophos Intercept X for Server on some servers but on one server Hitman doesn't install/start. If i try "C:\ProgramData\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Cache\decoded\hmpa64\hmpalert.exe /install /mode=sophos" or ""C:\ProgramData\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Cache\decoded\hmpa64\hmpalert.exe" /upgrade /quiet /noautoupdate" I got only the message "This programm is manged by Sophos".

I rebooted the machine and remove and install the software but no change.

Any help possible?

Thx!

Hello Stefan N Did you open a case with support? The command that you mentioned is correct " C:\ProgramData\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Cache\decoded\hmpa64\hmpalert.exe /install /mode=sophos " - the only thing…

When you run the Central installer, the install logs of the components should go to the temp directory of the installing user, e.g. %temp%.

Do you see a log for the HMPA component?
