Sophos Endpoint Security and Control: Could not contact server

jenkins entee

while updating sophos just sayings cannot contact server then stops leaving me stuck on v10.7

'Message: Could not connect to the server. Check that this computer is connected to the network and that Sophos AutoUpdate is configured to update from the correct location with the correct credentials and proxy details '

 

I've tried download 'sophos home' and the problem doesn't happen. is there anything i can do to fix endpoint 'could not contact server'? (i've been given access to endpoint from my school so auto log in down have password though i dont think that is the problem)

    Hi Jenkins, 

    This should be an easy one for you.

    The client is unable to access the updates hosted on \\shadowpre\SophosUpdate. 

    Why would that be? Notice the "Windows Error 53"? It suggests that the Client is unable to resolve the hostname shadowpre to an IP address. A quick check would be to Start > Run > cmd

    C:>ping shadowpre

    Check if you can spot an IP address. If not, check your AD/DNS server so as to why it's unable to resolve the DNS query from this endpoint. 

    Thanks,

    Vikas
