Having issue in clients reporting to Sophos Console.

KAR AAR

 Hello Experts,

 

I've an issue of clients reporting to Sophos Ent. Console. Everyday I see the "Out-of-date computers" are increasing the numbers and there's a huge list of machines with message "Not since so and so date and time".

What could be the issue and how to resolve this case. I need the fastest solution and best practiced solution, please.

Thanks

Regards

Faisal

    See the screenshot of one of the machine. This is updated but not reported to Sophos Ent. Console.

    Are you using a message relay or are these reporting directly back to the management server?

    Test connectivity from one of the machines back to RMS on ports 8192/8194, 'telnet <management server> 8192' and 'telnet <management server> 8192'.

    Hello Faisal and warnox,

    connectivity (endpoint to server) must be ok otherwise there wouldn't be the Updated successfully with a recent time. Seems to be an endpoint-internal issue, apparently it affects more than one endpoint though and seems to be related to an update on 30th August. Might be that COM got stuck. I'd try a reboot as for further troubleshooting you'd need access to the endpoints anyway.

    Hello QC,

     

    I rebooted the servers where I was facing the issue. So far one site has started hand shake with clients. :) but the other still not :-/

    Hello Faisal,

    as said, the endpoint in the screenshot does communicate so it's at least for this endpoint not a relay issue. A Last message time or an updating message (whether Successfully or some error) later than the Not since ... indicates a working RMS communication and the issue is likely endpoint-internal. The Router and Agent logs from one of these endpoints would be a start.

    Hello QC,

    The issue I've found in Manager with error for a server "Software delivery failed." What's the issue and solution for this. I believe this is causing issue because all the clients of this server is throwing errors.

    Hello Faisal,

    my bad that I didn't ask. If a SUM doesn't update the endpoints updating from its CIDs will nevertheless report successful updates - the package will be out of date though.

    The shoot first-ask later approach would be stop the SUM service and empty (delete the contents of) %ProgramData%\Sophos\Update Manager\Update Manager\Warehouse\ and %ProgramData%\Sophos\Update Manager\, then restart the service and force an update. Otherwise please check the SUMTrace log(s) in %ProgramData%\Sophos\Update Manager\Logs\ , there should be a more specific description of the error.
