Hello Ben,

Thank you for the follow-up.

Could you check if in the firewall there are any other hosts with the same name that Central is trying to push?
(Note: Firewall doesn't allow duplicate names across all tabs in Hosts & Services
e.g. If there’s an IPHost named "FooBar", Firewall won't support the creation of Country Group "FooBar")

If that is true, you’ll have to delete the conflicting host object from Firewall and then retry Central configurations.

Regards,

Hello Emmanuel,

yes, when I use the Safari-Browser I can skip the transaction, as discussed here:

community.sophos.com/.../sophos-central-firewall-cannot-skip-transaction

I want to figure out what the this is object is: Host \"{hostname}\

I cannot find a failed transaction for a host.

Hello Ben,

Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community!

Are you able to Skip the transaction? If you are unable to Skip the transaction try in a different browser other than Chrome.
