Configure message relay in ver 5.2.2

I am having trouble configuring a message relay in ver 5.2.2.  I followed the instructions here:

http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/14635.aspx

It does not list ver 5.2 on that page but I cannot find any instructions anywhere that do.

The issue I have is that according to the video on that page, the ConnectionCache registry value is supposed to be 20512 to indicate that the machine has converted to a message relay.  The value is 10.

Everything else seems to indicate that it worked, although currently I have no endpoints setup to use that relay yet.  But on the relay machine itself I see that the mrinit.conf located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\Remote Management System is the one I modified and does list itself as the "ParentRouterAddress".  I understand this is how you would confirm that an endpoint had pulled its configuration from this machine.

  • I see a number of sophos logs in that folder but none of them have mrinit in the title.  I have removed and re-added the AV software a few times on this machine to try and trigger it to turn into a relay so I have several versions of some logs,  What I have is:

    Sophos Anti-Virus CustomActions Log_xxxx  <--Eight of these

    Sophos Anti-Virus Install Log_xxxx  <--Eight of these

    Sophos Anti-Virus Major CustomActions Log_  <--Two of these

    Sophos AutoUpdate Setup log  <--One of these

    Sophos RMS install log  <--One of these

    Sophos RMS Install Log_xxxx  <--Four of these

    The Sophos RMS install log mentions clientmrinit in a few places.  Most of them appear irrelevent but there are these entries if they mean anything:

    MSI (s) (C8:64) [15:14:03:293]: Skipping action: RunClientMRInit (condition is false)

    MSI (s) (C8:64) [15:14:03:324]: WIN64DUALFOLDERS: Substitution in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\Remote Management System\ClientMRInit.exe' folder had been blocked by the 1 mask argument (the folder pair's iSwapAttrib member = 0).
