Hello,
Can I get an advice what shall I try next on resolving the problem of installation of Endpoint protection on users PC.
The main problem is error:
Last Agent Update - 23 days ago - Update Failed
I had tried reinstalling an Sophos Endpoint protection multiple times but same error occurs at the end of installation "Failed to install ESH64: general error."
I had checked all log files and searched on google for same problems, there was some suggestions to check some registry values and I did but it didn't help. There was also some suggestions for checking PC's services but same result.
Sophos UI log - last part
