client is disconnected/show red x on SEC

Dear Sirs,

There is issue with all managed client computers are showing up as disconnected with a red x on SEC server after setup Microsoft security and update windows on server.

Our version of the Sophos Enterprise Console we are running is 5.5.0, we are running windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise. There is only one terminal showing green connection on the server.

The sophos message router service is not stoped it's set on automatic on the local system on the server.

I would appreciate any help you get give us on this matter.

  • Hi

    On a client, can you:

    1. Stop the Sophos Message Router Service. 

    2. Restart the service.

    3. Wait 2 minutes.

    4. provide the latest router log file from:
    \programdata\sophos\remote management system\3\router\logs\

    Regards,

    Jak

  • Hello Sophoan KHIEU,

    the log suggests that this computer can't connect to terminal2's port 8192 - it has tried with IPv4, IPv6, FQDN and NetBIOS name. Any chance that a firewall is blocking the connection (note: port 8194 also needs to be accessible)?

  • Dear Christian,

    There are 50 client computers has disconnected since I've updated windows server and setup Microsoft security on Sophos Enterprise Console sever.

    Could you please kindly advise to allow any port for all clients to connect back but it's still can update from the console server.

     

    Thanks and all the best!

  • Hello Sophoan KHIEU,

    please see Access to computers with firewalls and Firewall exceptions for RMS.
    Please note that this is communication - the Disconnected status applies only to management (RMS), it doesn't tell whether the endpoint can and does update or not. If the endpoint is Connected it will report whether updating works or not.

  • Dear Christian,

     

    I've allowed TCP port 8192 [TCP], and 8194[TCP] on Sophos Enterprise Console server and the client computers connection is working back.

    Thank you so much!

     

    With all the best,
