Sophos Updates changing UAC and ACL in Windows?

A customer of ours has about 300 endpoints.  50 of these have some very specific UAC and ACL configurations in Windows.  When we initally rolled out Sophos, these settings were reversed even though we have GPO setting this stuff up.  Well, GPO never set it back up and we had to manually resolve.  After this recent update, 10.8.1, it seems to have reverted again!

Has anyone else encountered things like this before?  Our customer is ready to say Uninstall Sophos.  These are critical machines that Sophos is breaking.  I need to come up with another solution instead of Uninstall.

I have opened a ticket but have yet to even receive the automated email confirmation.  May have to open it again.

  • Hello Keith Morris,

    after checking I still don't see what the UAC breaks or that it is modified - could you give details?

    the user also needing write access to a few folders inside of Program Files
    re-reading this part I'm sure I've misunderstood you - you mean that upgrading Sophos resets the ACLs on non-Sophos folders under Program Files (Program Files or Program Files (x86) - under the latter I have folders where users have write access and their ACLs haven't been modified)?
