Auto Sync feature missing from the switch (IE-2000-8TC-G-B)

Conditions

Switch Ports Model                     SW Version            SW Image
------ ----- -----                     ----------            ----------
*    1 10    IE-2000-8TC-G-B           15.2(4)EA5            IE2000-UNIVERSALK9-M

Problem

The SD card has been inserted (provided by Cisco):

SD Flash Manufacturer   : SMART MODULAR (ID=27h)
         Serial number  : 123456789
         Size           : 972MB

 A full sync has been completed successfully:

Switch#sync flash: sdflash:
Verifying src IOS image file(s) : [OK]
Verifying dst IOS image file(s) : [OK]
Verifying src config file : [OK]
Verifying dst config file : [OK]

Verifying dst vlan data file : [OK]
Verifying free space in destination : [OK]

...
syncing config file from flash to sdflash : [OK]
syncing vlan data file from flash to sdflash : [OK]
syncing environment variables from flash to sdflash : [OK]

But now "auto sync" cannot happen? Why?

Switch(config)#auto ?
  qos       Configure AutoQoS global
  security  Configure AutoSecurity global

According to Cisco that command should be there:

Using an SD Card with the Cisco IE 2000 Switch

Am I missing anything?

 - Could you try this command :  auto sync enable  , anyway and see what happens (?)

Thanks marce1000. Sure thing. This is the output:

Switch(config)#auto sync enable
                     ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

And just so we're clear, the SD card is inserted, and the switch boot from it:

 - Always useful to try latest (advisory) release and check again : https://software.cisco.com/download/home/284892486/type/280805680/release/15.2.7E2
  Also check the output of these commands :  Switch# show auto sync configuration
                                                                                                 show auto sync status
