Unable to push Sophos antivirus out to server

Hello Nathan Carter,

the second screenshot shows the error quite clearly - reported by MsiInstaller, error 3051. Has nothing to do with network, shares, ping ...

Thank you for your support. So far ive created Daaa and tried again then said didn't have Daab.. so created that and then said it didn't have Daac.. so created that.. trying again.. it wont keep going from the alphabet?? Daad DaaE DaaF??

Hello Nathan Carter,

seems it does detect the existence of the account it want to create (e.g. Daaa) but is unable to create one with the API call it uses (error 50 is The request is not supported.)

It doesn't work by simply creating the account - the installer assumes that, unlikely as this is, someone else created this account for whatever purpose so it "invents" a new name and consequently fails again). Can't say what causes the error, perhaps some obscure setting. 
Anyway, you can pre-create the account but you have to follow the Sophos Endpoint: How to manually create a Sophos AutoUpdate account link (IMO it's unfortunate to call the account SophosUpdate - you can use an arbitrary name, perhaps one of those you created).
