Calling All MK Schools - Sophos Question

Just a quick question for the people in MK.

If you get sophos from the council have you noticed that there have been no updates for a while?

We use sophos here in Lancs aswell. The latest update was at 9:12am today.

Sophos Anti-Virus =  6.0.4 
Release status = Full 
Threat detection engine = 2.38.2 
Threat detection data = 4.10 
Threats detected = 192005 
Threat detection identities = 140 
Last updated = 04/10/2006 09:12:04

What server? This is a primary P2P network here.

[krisd32]

ok.
its the last time that particular machine you were looking at updated.

Yes, I know, but it checks the LancsNGFL server directly every 30mins. And the LancsNGFL server checks Sophos every hour or so.

Historically, I can say from experience we get three updates a day. One early morning. One around Lunchtime and another late afternoon/evening.

Currently The Admin server updates from the LEA parent, then the curric server updates from admin server.

Currently looking at the published packages from Sophos Em Library, and the time issued on all packages is 31/07/2006 - and looking in sophos

And when the scheduled update runs the log returns the message "no files have changed"

Sophos Anti-Virus =  6.0.2 
Release status = Full 
Threat detection engine = 2.36.1 
Threat detection data = 4.08 
Threats detected = 185285 
Threat detection identities = 78 
Last updated = 04/10/2006 11:47:16

So I'm guessing the problem lies with the LEA?

[Geoff]

Yes. Their server must not be updating from Sophos correctly.
