Failed to update SAVNT error 0000006b

Blood

Hello

I have an issue updating a Windows 2012 server named \\Janus. \\Janus hosts the Enterprise Console.

The following message appears in the console for the host server:
Code: 0000006b
Description: Download of SAVNT failed from server \\JANUS\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\SAVSCFXP\

These are the last few entries in the ALC.log file:

The line stating:

is correct as a sub folder named sav does not exist on \\Janus:

I have tried right-clicking the Sophos icon in the Notiification Area and initiating an update, and have also tried updating from the Enterprise Console but both methods fail.

All other clients and servers are updating successfully. Note that I presently have a support case open with the Sophos escalation team regarding system freezes so I don't know if that may have abearing on this (but \\Janus has not experienced these freezes).

Does anyone have any suggestions I might try to remedy this, please?

Thanks

Mark

    Hi Mark,

    My suspicion is that the machine is attempting to install Sophos Anti-virus for Windows NT based on the error.  What we want is the machine to pull down Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows XP/2000+ instead.  Try the following:
    1. Turn off Tamper Protection on the machine.

    2. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Config\

    3. Make a backup of iupd.cfg

    4. Open up an administrative notepad and modify iupd.cfg

    5. Swap the value of Action for the following:

    ;SAV 2k =
    [iProductData.{E17FE03B-0501-4aaa-BC69-0129D965F311}]
    AllowLocalConfig = 1
    Action = 0x400007

    ;SAV NT4
    [iProductData.{7998C326-2CA5-4830-B7D2-B792D2460975}]
    AllowLocalConfig = 1
    Action = 0x400000

    6. Force an update on the machine.

    Hello MEric and thank you for replying.

    Apologies for the late response.

    I made the changes you suggested and ran an update and it now seems to have worked.

    The cfg file was edited as follows:

    Change from:
    ;SAV NT4
    [iProductData.{7998C326-2CA5-4830-B7D2-B792D2460975}]
    AllowLocalConfig = 1
    Action = 0x400007

    Change to:
    ;SAV NT4
    [iProductData.{7998C326-2CA5-4830-B7D2-B792D2460975}]
    AllowLocalConfig = 1
    Action = 0x400000

    As soon as I forced an update Sophos requested a restart to finish the update.

    Thank you very much for your help.
