User_account "sophos" in AD gone.

Hi
I use Sophos Enterprise Console which have two domain controller servers as clients (called "AD1" and "AD2")
One day I found that AD1(base on windows server 2008) didn't update and I cannot update it via Sophos Enterprise Console too.
So I start investigate on this issue ...and when I access AD1.. I've found that the sophos tray icon (almon.exe) had been disappeared .. furthermore I realize that my whole D:\Sophos\AutoUpdate are all gone and the log say that It was an error when sophos try to update itself....
I already try copy the AutoUpdate folder from temp folder and try to run almon.exe but it didn't work ... so I decided to re install Sophos Client on AD1... However I also found that my user_account "sophos" was deleted too... So i need to recreate this user manually and reinstall sophos client.

So my question is what really happened... why my autoupdate folder and my user account are all gone ?? Please help

...This is my log file MsiInstaller-ad1
