Installing on windows server 2008

dijsil

I had an issue with server being slow to load and tried uninstalling the av to check if it was causing the issue (which it was)

 

Now I am trying to install it back and its telling me installation failed.

 

Any ideas?

    Hi dijsil,

    We'll need to look into the installation log to see why this failed.  Could you provide us with a copy of the SophosCloudInstaller log located in C:\ProgramData\Sophos\CloudInstaller\Log\ for us to analyze?

    Hi dijsil,

    Try redownloading your installer, however instead of clicking the link to download the Server installer, right click it and select copy.  Modify the URL to SophosInstall.exe rather than SophosSetup.exe and try that installer.

    Example:
    api-cloudstation-eu-central-1.prod.hydra.sophos.com/.../SophosSetup.exe
    api-cloudstation-eu-central-1.prod.hydra.sophos.com/.../SophosInstall.exe

    Hi  

     

     

    For the error "ERROR : FileSystemFinder failure: 87" we usually see this in Windows Server 2008. An alternate installer (from the instructions below) should help install Sophos.

    1. Login to Sophos Central, choose Protect Devices
    2. Right-Click on the Download Windows Server Installer link under the heading of Server Protection, choose Copy link address
    3. Open then paste the link in a new tab, modify the link changing the SophosSetup.exe to SophosInstall.exe press enter a different version of the installer should be downloaded. 
    4. It should be about 25 MB in size, right-click then choose to Run As Administrator for the 2008 devices.

    After installing Sophos again when rebooting server is taking long on applying computer settings.

     

    is there a fix for this?
