Dear All,

Thanks a lot!

  • Hello Chuck,

    you did change the password for the update user (usually called SophosUpdateMgr in the docs) in the policy and - naturally - also for this (local or AD) account? Why did you do it?
    As the endpoints use the new password as soon as but also only after they have received the updated policy there will be connection attempts with the wrong password. Depending on your security settings this might have locked out the update user account. BTW: Can the server itself update?
    So please check the status of the update account. If it isn't locked you should inspect the ALUpdate log (the detailed ALUpdate log in %ProgramData%\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Logs\), it will show the particular error.

  • Hi Christian,

    Thanks for your reply.

    The server join domain but running in local.

    I change the password because server administrator password need to change every 90 days, policy set.

    I see last updated date is up to date in endpoint on server, and updating log looks fine. (which is c:\programdata\sophos\autoupdate\log\alc.log)

    and lots of unknown shown in column Up to date. 

    I try to change password of local administrator back to before but endpoint still shows "Not since date".

     

    Thanks for your help!

  • Hello chuck,

    never use an administrator account for the updating policy (SUM account), please see here for the SUM account.
    If the account is not disabled/locked and the password in the policy is correct the endpoints should update. If they still don't, then please check the detailed ALUpdate (not alc.log) log on one of them. If you can't spot the error please post a complete cycle (starting with ALUpdate started: -ScheduledUpdate ...).

  • Hi Christian,

     

    I am new to ALUpdate file and everything looks good I think.

    Could you please takes time to look the log?

  • Hello Chuck,

    as you say - this looks fine (there isn't an actual update but it's checking and determining that it's up-to-date).
    Please check the Last message time in the console's Computer Details tab. Although a password or a policy change shouldn't cause loss of RMS connectivity this should be ruled out as the reason for the seemingly stopped updates.
