Stop Sophos services

On the old server:

  1. Close Sophos Enterprise Console.
  2. Open a command prompt window.
  3. Stop the endpoint communication services. To do this, type the following commands:

    • net stop "Sophos Message Router"

    • net stop "Sophos Patch Endpoint Communicator"

    • net stop "Sophos Certification Manager"

    Note Sophos recommends that you wait for several minutes after you stop the endpoint communication services. This will help process any messages that may be cached in the memory queues.
  4. Stop the data processing and front end services. To stop the services, type the following commands:

    • net stop "Sophos Patch Server Communicator"

    • net stop "Sophos Management Host"

    • net stop "Sophos Patch Endpoint Orchestrator"

    • net stop "Sophos Management Service"

    • net stop "Sophos Update Manager"

You have finished stopping Sophos services.
