Sophos Enterprise Console shows endpoint in status of "Awaiting policy from console". It may stay like this even after rebooting and restarting the RMS service.
Try the following
- right clicking on the machines in question and select
‘comply with all group policies’
- Re-install the sophos agent on the endpoint
I found that these two things fixed the issue
From support
"We have seen the issue in some other cases recently where the re-installation has fixed the RMS issue then generally stays fixed. Normally this kind of transitory Corba/RMS problem is resolved by re-starting RMS/SAV or re-protecting the machine.
Although re-installing always seems to fix the issue, we are still trying to know what causes it in the first place."
