Windows server 2019 standard

Judcom

Has anyone been able to install PureMessage on Windows server 2019 (standard)?

The latest version of Sophos PureMessage for Exchange can not connect to SQL server (neither SQL server express bundled, or SQL Server Standard edition 2014) on Windows 2019 standard during PureMessage setup/installation on the server.

The message is:

"Unable to connect to "[hostname]". Please ensure that the selected SQL Server instance is available and that you have the access rights to connect to it."

I have checked all the connections, and SQL server is running and receiving connections. The SQL server is on the same server as the PureMessage installation (localhost).

Is there is preview version that might work with Windows Server 2019?

    I used Nartac Software - IIS Crypto to set TLS to 1.0. TLS 1.1 did not solve the issue.

    I realise this is not a supported solution, was there anything else that need changing to enable Puremessage to install on Server 2019? I have enabled both tls 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2, the installation still fails on the database selection due to not being able to connect. I see that the SOPHOS instance has been created and can be access via sql management console, but not by the installer.

     

    It seem strange that Sophos are no longer supporting on premise installations on the most recent Server version, I presume like all other vendors they want everything cloud based.
