Reg: Scheduled Scan Status not Reflecting in Enterprise Console.

Hello Guys,

 

We are facing a strange issue in our environment where in we have several Servers (OS - Windows 2008 - 2016) and workstations (Windows 10) with Sophos is intalled.

The Machines are reporting to their respective consoles and are up to date. All policies are pushed and we do not have any errors on updating. However, there is an issue with the Scheduled Scan Status that we see in the console.

 

Weekly/Monthly Scheduled scans have completed successfully on the machines. This can be seen when we open the GUI on the server from the task bar.

However, the console does not seem to capture this for some reason. It shows an older date and says Scan has failed. Could some one please let me know what needs to be checked for this issue.

 

I am sure there is no issue with the policies, because there are several other machines using the same policies and do not face this issue.

Any help would be much appreciated. Multiple cases with vendor did not yeild and positive results. Hoping to find a solution here.

 

Regards,

Ganu

  • Hello Ganu,

    BTW: Weekly is the longest interval for a schedule, there are no monthly schedules, are there?

    an older date and says Scan has failed
    unlike updating where a successful update clears previous errors scanning errors have to be acknowledged using Resolve alerts and errors .... That a subsequent scan succeeds doesn't indicate that a previous error can be disregarded. SEC doesn't keep track of the scans and their respective settings and furthermore scan names are only unique per policy, not globally.

  • Hey QC,

     

    Thank you for the response. Yes, its is Weekly Scans. Apologies.

    I do not see any Scan related errors or alerts for the machines in the console.

    When I check the Task Scheduler on the machines, I see its ran to success with no errors. However, the console shows an old date.

    Attaching screen-shots from Server and Console for your reference.

  • Hello Ganu,

    potential errors are further down in the computer details or under Resolve alerts and errors.

    Scan start and end of a scan are recorded in the local SAV.txt log (%ProgramData%\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\logs\) and the log from the last scheduled scan is also there. These should give a hint why SEC doesn't consider the scan completed.

  • Hello QC,

    As per your inputs, I had a look at both the files. Looks like several files have timed out during scanning. Also, there is one Interface error 0xa0040212 atating its encrypted.

    Are these password protected files? Or should I be looking for adding exclutions? Please advise.

  • Hello Ganu,

    looks like at least the last two Weekly scans have not completed. File is encrypted is normally no issue, it just states the fact.
    The timeouts aren't normal though. There is IMO no simple solution and this requires deeper inspection. You should open a case with Support.

  • Hello QC,

     

    Thank you for the inputs. I will log a case again. Will keep you posted.

    Ganu.
