Sophos Endpoint fails to install updates?

Dear all

Unfortunately i am not a computer expert so some of the Post i read here were not really of great help for me even if the maybe answered my question already? 

I have the following question:

My windows Defender notified me that my virus software is out of date. Sophos itself notifies my that i AM PROTECTED???

I have the Sophos endpoint installed and the licence is from my University.

It skips the installation of the files it downloaded.

The last ide file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus is also over a week old.

But i did not do anything to the Pc. I recently found out that some of the User $path variables were also gone?

I already deleted %tmp% files and did a restart. But this had no effect. there was no error Prompt whatsoever

I would be really nice if you could help me.

  • Hello Fabian T,

    the Installation [...] übersprungen (installation of [...] skipped) is normal if there are no new files since the last download (Download von Produkt ... und Update des Caches abgeschlossen doesn't mean that there is anything new). If you click Produktinfo (Sophos GUI, on the left) and expand Antivirus und HIPS Software it should have 212 Erkennungsdateien and a Letztes Update date - this is the date of the last actual download. If this date is not recent it might be that the update location (university server? \\UNC or http://?) is "stale" i.e. it is not update for whatever reason. I this case you'd have to ask your university's IT.

  • EDIT: It seems to work now! As you said there was something wrong with the update server on the university it seems
