    Hi,

    This advice worked for me.

    Hello , There is a known issue whereby the SSL/TLS Ciphers that we need to install the Guest Agent are missing.  Please could you try the below procedure. To fix this:

    On the Affected Machine press Windows key + R to bring up the Run dialogue box. Enter regedit to open the Registry Editor

    • Go to the following registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Cryptography\Configuration\SSL\00010002
    • Right click on the Functions value to Modify it
    • Amend the ciphers added to the end of the current comma separated list previously: Windows 10 & Windows Server 2016 · TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA Other supported Windows platform: ·         TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256_P384,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA_P384 · Click OK and restart the machine

    Don't forget to add a comma before adding the text.

    Emineminem,

    Thanks for posting this, I have a support ticket open with Sophos for the same issue but I'm getting zero response from them.

    I want to try your fix but I don't the Functions value you mention, on any of our servers.  Am I missing something? I'd be willing to manually add the Functions value to test (can always roll back from a snaphot).

    I don't think the function exists until you try and run the agent install.

    Try running the agent install and see it fail. then check if the function exists.

    Tried that - no joy.  I think I have other issues.

    Thanks anyway!

    Any luck?  I'm having the exact same issue.

    I also have the same issue, tried on a couple of VM's a w2k12r2 and a w2k16 get the same issue on both.  I've had to reinstall our security VM so have to reinstall all of the agents on my guest VM's and can't get them working!

    same here the functions value isn't there even after you install and wait for the installation to fail

    I figured it out over here.  Maybe this will help someone. I had to do the following:

    1. Log in to the appliance's console and enable SSH (this is really only for convenience)
    2. I enabled SSH to start at boot (Again, just for convenience)
    3. I reset the smb passwords for the sophos account and the sophospublic account.
    4. Restart the appliance or restart SMB.  At this point SMB was working and I could install the .MSI
    5. I went ahead and turned on guest access for the two shares.  I didn't want to sign in to them and I didn't figure they were protecting an important info.  The conf file to edit is at /etc/samba/smb.conf and I added the share definitions to the following:

      [public]
    comment = Public Share
    path = /public
    browsable = yes
    valid users = sophospublic sophos username nobody
    guest ok = yes
    guest only = yes
    guest account = nobody
    read only = yes
    directory mode = 0774

[logs]
    comment = Log Share
    path = /logs
    browsable = yes
    valid users = sophos nobody
    guest ok = yes
    guest account = nobody
    guest only = yes
    read only = yes
    directory mode = 0774

    If anyone has any input on why this is a horrible idea I would be open to hearing what you have to say.

    This fixed it for us with Server 2012 R2 and Exchange 2013. Thanks! As mentioned later here is the Sophos KB article about it. https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/126188

    The difference in this article is it mentions 

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Cryptography\Configuration\SSL\00010000  We did not have that key, but we did have 00010002 as mentioned by Emineminem, so I updated that key, rebooted and then the installer worked.
