Sophos Management Host Service automatically changes Password

Hello,

We are having problems with the "Sophos Management Host" service.

I have searched everywere and am not able to find a solution.

Whenever we reboot the server, somehow, the password for the service changes. Meaning we have to manually edit the password to the user accounts password in the service.

The other services, using the exact same account work without any problems (sophos patch services).

Anyone has any idea what could automatically change the password for this service?

- Password never expires

- User cannot change password

Best Regards,

Martijn

Hello,
Yes, that is exactly what i am saying...
I have checked the eventvwr, and there are no MSI or anything like that being run on the server at startup/shutdown.
The DC shows several logon failures for the account, so it has tried to start the service automatically.
Other services start just fine with the same account, it is only that specific service that automatically changes.
