You might want to check your outbound settings as well as the certificate settings for your exchange server: (With reference to Sophos' KB article www.sophos.com/.../119178.aspx) SMC 4.0 and earlier: On the SMC server run the Configuration Wizard. Note: This will stop the SMC service for a short time period. Skip the database configuration Tick the box next to "Configure Exchange ActiveSync Proxy" Make the configuration as needed and tick the SSL checkbox The SMC server now tries to connect to the Exchange Server and imports the certificate of the Exchange this way. Complete the Configuration Wizard which will start SMC service again. Now the error should not appear anymore in the logs as the SMC server now trusts the Exchange certificate. since SMC 5.0: Logon to the SMC Web Management Console as Super Administrator Go to System | Setup | System setup | EAS proxy In the "Internal" section enter the Exchange or groupware server URL in the Exchange/groupware server URL text field. Select Use SSL to use a secure connection. To test the connection click Check connection. A message will be displayed if the server can be reached. Click Save. Note: It might take another five minutes until EAS traffic works again. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest checking your EAS proxy logs in C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Mobile Control\jboss\server\mdm\log Hope that helps. Paul
