Configure message relay in ver 5.2.2

PBJ_Family

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.

    You got it exactly Christian, you have to modify the mrinit.conf file in the SUMInstallSet folder prior to installing the SUM.  I actually called Sophos about it.  Here is the KB for what I was trying to accomplish. Works perfectly.

    After this post I will see if I can change the thread topic to more accurately reflect what I was looking to do. EDIT: Nope, can't edit it now.  Oh well.

    You explained something else I had observed though.  When I first install a SUM from that SUMInstallSet folder on the SEC server, it appears in the Update Manager list in the SEC as a lower version.  But after some time it updates.  So I think that older version in there doesn't matter so much.

    Well this adventure got me up to speed on a lot of aspects of Sophos antivirus.  I have the UTM and SafeGuard coming up soon.  Hopefully the google fodder in this thread will be helpful for someone.

    Thanks again for all the help.
