i. We consulted with our engineers regarding the health status for Lockdown and was advised that installation events for this service will only be an informational alert in Sophos Central. This will not a trigger a medium(yellow) or high(red) status so the server will still be green.


As previously communicated, attempts to install Server Lockdown with SAP Business One will fail and Sophos Central will report a permanent 'Installing software' status. As this doesn't require user intervention, no medium/high alert will be reported. 




ii. Sophos Lockdown will always be using  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SLD
