Sophos for VE installation fails on Hyper-V (Windows Server 2019)

Hello,

trying a fresh install on an Hyper-V host (German Windows) results in following log:

2020-03-03_22-49-36 [INFO] Starting Sophos for Virtual Environments installer tool

In this stage the config VHD file is already copied to the target folder, the VM is created in Hyper-V although incomplete without disks in its configuration.

What does this tell me and how can I fix this?

Best greetings from Germany
Olaf

  • Hi  

    Hyper-V server 2019 is not supported for the Sophos for a virtual environment. Please refer to this article which has all the information regarding this.
