Sophos Message Router keeps breaking, due to registry setting reverting

Hello.

I'm having a problem with Sophos Message router.  The SEC server will periodically stop reading all events from endpoints, and stop getting definition updates from Sophos.  I found a solution with this thread - https://community.sophos.com/products/endpoint-security-control/f/sophos-enterprise-console/95508/update-manager-stuck-at-downloading-binaries - by adding the IP address of the server to a registry entry, and restarting the Sophos Message Router.

The problem is it keeps happening.  I just fixed this registry entry for the third time.  My questions are:

1 - What keeps causing this registry setting to be reverted?
2 - Why does it cause the Message Router to stop receiving messages?
3 - What can I do to fix the problem permanently?

***************************************************
Clarification:

The fix is to change the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sophos Message Router]

Working value:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\Enterprise Console\Remote Management System\RouterNT.exe" -service -name Router -ORBListenEndpoints iiop://10.0.0.5:8193/ssl_port=8194

Broken value (it keeps reverting to this):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\Enterprise Console\Remote Management System\RouterNT.exe" -service -name Router -ORBListenEndpoints iiop://:8193/ssl_port=8194

  • Which keys are you updating?  Are you updating the values under both:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SophosMessageRouter

    and

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\sophos\Messaging System\Router

    The services key is being used but if RMS updates it takes the values from the other key.  If both aren't updated then you would revert on each RMS update.

  • I'm updating [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sophos Message Router]

    Under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sophos], I do not have a node for \Messaging System\Router.
