All of our ESET installations are specific to Mac. I was able to repeat the process on a second Mac but had to specify the path to the installed version as you suggested and use hxxp://localhost opposed to the IP address but I see where that may be due to the Webserver configuration. I'm still fine tuning but think I have a solution. For our small environment the Mirror Tool will be the preferred method to update opposed to ERA. I can see where ERA would be beneficial if we add additional systems.

I had actually entered hxxp://<ip address>/Mirror and it did not work. This morning I changed the Update Server to hxxp://localhost/Mirror/eset_upd/ep6 and the system updated. I will attempt again with the latest files and on another system to verify this is consistent. This should suffice although I am not thrilled about having to enable the Web server to update the system.

Before your response I copied the files from the Mirror Tool download to the local HTTP server root directory and configured the Update Server setting to hxxp://localhost:80/Mirror since 80 is the port the local webserver is listening on but still received the "Server not Found" error. Is 8080 required for ESET or should my configuration have worked? The structure under the Mirror folder is \eset_upd with subfolders \eset_upd\era, \eset_upd\ep6, \eset_upd\v4, \eset_upd\v5. This question was geared more towards creating a Mirror Server. The windows client seems to have an option to configure it as a Mirror Server which also appears to install an HTTP server. Is there a difference between using my own HTTP server i.e. the Mac Web Services and the Mirror Server configured by the client other than the Mirror Server connecting to ESET and downloading the updates? The Mirror Tool download folder structure does not appear to have an html, php or similar file that the clients would read when connecting to the server. Therefore I do not see how copying the Mirror Tool download files to a folder on my local HTTP or any HTTP server works...something in the background I am not seeing?? This is why I am asking if the Mirror Server has an additional component or if it is something I am missing concerning the files being visible to the client via HTTP.

Can the web server be local i.e. configure web services on the Mac, copy the files to the web server directory then point the update server to itself. If so does it matter what port? What would be the syntax in the update server? hxxp://localhost/Mirror? OR Does the update mirror component have something specific in the install to respond to the client? One last question...do I have to have the ESET client installed on the Windows or Linux system in order to create the Mirror or can this be done without the client?

I was directed to the Mirror tool and successfully downloaded updates to a USB drive but now I am having an issue getting the Mac to update from the USB. ESET Support instructed me to add the path to the USB in the "Update Server" field however when I do this I receive a "Server not Found" error. I believe the Mac might not have all of the configuration options that are available with Windows. This should be simple i.e. download the updates, point the client to the folder, and install. ESET doesn't appear to offer this for the Mac clients. The only way I have been able to update a Mac is by connecting it to the Internet.

1. Yes this is NOD32 Antivirus Business Edition for Mac OS. Looks like I didn't scroll down far enough/read the finer print for the correct section. 2. I have installed an ERA 6.x server but was also told by ESET Support that I could use the Mirror Tool to transfer updates to an offline system. 3. I have the ERA server connected to the Internet as a Mirror but there is not a path to the Mac systems as they are on an isolated networks. I am also trying to avoid adding systems to specifically serve as update servers. Our preferred method would be to update each Mac (there are only a few) via a USB drive. I did not clarify in my previous post that ESET Support directed me to the Mirror Tool. After downloading the updates using the Mirror Tool I was told I could configure the Mac to update from the USB drive by adding an Update Server value of the path to the files. When I do this I keep receiving a "Server Not Found" error. The knowledge base article explains how to setup a Mirror on a Windows system but I do not see the Mirror option available on a Mac system i.e. if I want the Mac to act as it's own Mirror.

I am attempting to update a Mac offline. I was told by ESET Support that I only need to add the path to the files in the "update server" list but no matter what level of the folder structure I place in the update server list the system returns "server not found". The path I have entered is /Volumes/ESET/Mirror which contains the path eset_upd/ and a folder for each version of the application downloaded using the MirrorTool. Is there a specific level of the folder structure I need to enter? Is anyone familiar with updating NOD32 for Mac offline? Any help would be appreciated.

We have a few isolated networks with no Internet or external connectivity and need to be able to update the virus signature database of our Mac OS x systems on the isolated networks. I have configured ESET Remote Administrator (6.x) on a Windows system connected to the Internet to facilitate downloading the updates but I am confused as to how to manually transfer the updates to our Mac systems with ESET NOD 32 (6.x). I would like to just update the files using a USB but with version 6.x I do not see that option. I have also thought of the possibility of configuring the Apache HTTP Proxy on the Mac and pointing updates locally but I do not see any instructions for installing the proxy on a Mac client. From my research near as I can tell with version 6.x I am going to need a Windows or Linux system to serve as a proxy on each isolated network in order to update the Mac systems. In total I am only updating about 10 Macs and would like to avoid having to specifically configure a Windows or Linux proxy for each one Mac to get updates. Also, if I go this route can I manually place the files in a folder on the isolated network proxy server since these will also not have Internet access? I may be way off and just can't find the correct documentation. If anyone has ideas or can direct me to the best solution for sneaker netting the updates to the isolated network and updating Mac OS x please provide guidance.
