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.

  • Hello PBJ_Family,

    seem to further confirm that it is not a relay

    Indeed

    HostIPToParent

    contains the hex representation of the 4 octets, 192.168.112.7

    Can I move RelayServer to a different group

    Yes, any group with an updating policy pointing to a CID for the central part will do, but the CID must be customized (read: mrinit.conf in the RMS subdirectory). Dunno if it will work correctly as RelayServer looks "half-configured" but it's worth a try.

    clientmrinit.exe can be run manually?

    Likely  but I'm not sure about the arguments.
