I'm receiving either an "Installation of Sophos Auto Update Failed [0x00000008]" error or an "A runtime error occurred. From my testing, when this error occurs it's because the Auto Update folder that's created in either of the following locations has messed up permissions.

Basically, it won't allow anyone or anything to access it or delete it.

However, if you need to make a change follow the instructions below.

Go to the following folder and edit the file using notepad: For Windows 7 – Program Data Sophos Auto Update Config For Windows XP – Program Files Sophos Auto Update Config You may need to give the user editing the file permissions to write to the folder, my user account had read only.

And you can check out all the posts in this XG Firewall “How To” series on the Sophos Blog.

I have an SAN SSL certificate from Godaddy installed on Exchange (mail.and autodiscover.domain.com).

Has anyone successfully configured the XG in bridged mode to work with Outlook Anywhere? Do I need to install the SSL cert on the XG instead of Exchange and make the XG an SSL Proxy?

If so, is there any documentation on how to go about this with the Godaddy certificate?

During the install process the old versions of the software are uninstalled, then when the install is starting they error out.You should now find the Secondary location is editable.
