Windows Servers: Live discover and MTR not working. MCS Client: W (async) connection timeout, W [push]: error creating async stream: 0

LHerzog

MTR team wrote us that some of our servers cannot be managed by them.

This maybe in relation with this thread

But here is no 503 error in MCSClient.log and the client is green for MCS communication

There has been an other thread here also with UTM / SG Firewall. Bit I do not need to add IP addresses to the firewall because the traffic is already allowed:

https://community.sophos.com/intercept-x-endpoint/f/discussions/126574/server-offline-in-live-discover

SDU of one machine:

Note the warnings and errors in the logfile, this is happening continously.

mcs-push-server-eu-central-1.prod.hydra.sophos.com/ps without a proxy (peer address 54.93.214.175

There is no Web Proxy between the Server and Central, only normal firewall rules (Sophos SG).

The IP Address from the Firewall log: 54.93.214.175

This is the list of Central Servers we're allowing traffic to on the SF Firewall:

You can see the host from the logfile is listed there already.

We're having so much trouble with Central communication and paying so much for all our Sophos services... no good combination

Asking for some help.

    Support case 04814038 - I've been advised there to stop MCS services, rename the folder C:\ProgramData\Sophos\Management Communication Systems\Endpoint\Persist start MCS services and then reboot the server.

    Did not fix the issue.

    seems to be caused  the lack of feature of the UTM to handle Wildcard *FQDN

    The machines are trying to talk to

    su-8061a3085361.mcs-push-server-eu-central-1.prod.hydra.sophos.com

    and you can only see that in tcpdump / DNS resolution requests because it's not even logged in MCSClient.log when in debug mode.

    The Servername in bold letters changes, of course.

    And it's written there in the KB about Central Domains clearly and so our Sophos UTM firewall does not support Sophos Advanced XDR

    On our XG there are 165 hostservers listed as resolved for *.mcs-push-server-eu-central-1.prod.hydra.sophos.com
