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 am suspecting a failure in the install package somewhere.  I have UAC turned off by GPO so I wonder if that has anything to do with it.  I do not see logs indicating that clientmrinit.exe was ever run on either MainServer or RelaySever.  For purposes of this conversation lets say that MainServer is in site A and RelayServer is in site B. 

    Site B now has two more protected servers, one is running Server 2012 R2 and one is running Server 2008 R2.  Both of them have log files indicating that clientmrinit.exe was run successfully however the log files may be indicating a problem on RelayServer itself.  Here is the log from the Server 2008 R2 server.
