  1. I don't understand this. It's the same major version 4.5, only minor version upgrade and You say, not possible. There was major version upgrade from 4.0 to 5.0 for workstations product and it went without problems.As for push install, my servers are on remote sites, there is no VPN or EoIP connections, so remote installation not possible (can't establish IPC connection).

  2. Should I just open ports 2221-2224 on the ERA server to the outside world?  If I do this, then do you recommend setting a password for clients to authenticate?

     

    Not necessarily all of them. Port 2222 for clients to connect to ERAS from outside of your network, and yes, I suggest to set password for clients. Port 2221 to connect to mirror server. Port 2223 only if you want to connect ERA console to ERA server from outside of your network.

  3. Hello

     

    OK, it's time to introduce myself.

     

    How did you find the ESET Security Forum? I was on Wilders security forum before. Found the old forum trough ESET support page

     

    What OS are you running? Windows 7 on my workstation, also supporting more than 700 clients on Windows XP, Vista, Seven and Eight, also bunch of  Windows servers, including some Windows 2000

     

    What AV are you running? ESET Endpoint Antivirus at work, MS Security Essentials and Avast Free at home

     

    What’s an interesting fact about you? My first computer was self made ZX Spectrum clone (beginning of 1990-ies there was ZX Spectrum clones boom in exUSSR). On Windows since 1995.

  4. If you view the license keys in a text editor, does the CUSTOMER_NAME field match?

    Contact your reseller to correct Customer name.

     

    Another option is to make embedded license, in this case you will get one license with expiration date from original license which expires earlier.

  5. One ERAS can use only one license. Your reseller should be able to make embedded license from both of your current licenses. It will result in one license for 70 nodes. Embedded license expiration date will be the earliest from both.

     

    Sure, you can use another options, like separate ERAS for servers or leave servers as standalone non-managed nodes.

  6. OK, you are right.

     

    Tested your exclusions, not working for me also.

    Re: Setting Exceptions, wildcards and system variables.

    I asked ESET's tech support the same question and here is part of their reply.

    So it looks like v5 will be able to handle this. For now I manually added the exceptions for each staff member (20), but once v5 is available this should be easier to configure properly.

    Thank you for contacting ESET Customer Care.
    Unfortunately environment variables are not supported in ESET 4.x or below products. ESET version 5 products will be supporting Environment variables. Currently the only variables ESET recognises are "*" and "?" without the "".

     

    ESET File Security major version is 4 and, despite what Marcos is saying later in that thread from Wilders Security, system variables don't work on EFSW 4.5.

  7.  

    Do we have to upgrade ERAS/ERAC first?

    Yes. ERAS version 4 cannot manage clients version 5.

     

     

    Is there a major change to the database?

    Don't know, upgrade went smoothly, no needed to study database changes.

     

     

    Are we going to lose all of our existing policies?

    Policies for clients version 4 will stay unchanged, you should make new policies for clients version 5 after ERAS upgrade. There will be separate policies tree for v5 in configurator.

     

     

    Will the clients upgrade from 4.0 to 5.0 directly or are there intermediary upgrades that need to take place?

    From 4.0 to 5.0 you can upgrade directly

  8. Going to the Client workstation I had to enter the Update Server using the full name including port number. 

    Then under "Setup" and "Advanced Tools" I had to find "Remote Administration" and enter the server name but without http or port number. I see no reason to have to do both as one relies on the other they should have been on the same screen. For a rather "stock" setup, burying something like this under "advanced tools" isn't the way I would have done it. Ease of use is one of my priorities, and so far this isn't even close.

     

    Not exactly. You can use ERAS as administration tool and leave ESET servers as update servers.

     

    Almost there... I then needed to go to Windows Firewall on each client and add the anti-virus program to that list. Not a problem, but most other programs that need firewall access have a facility for doing it automatically. Again, I shouldn't have had to do this manually.

    This is strange. I have more than 700 workstations and never needed to do something with Windows firewall to enable ESET remote administration.

    To make configuration process easier, you can configure one client, then export settings in xml file and on other clients import these settings. Also, for new installations you can make customised msi file with configuration included, using ERAS console, Remote install tab, Actions -> Manage packages.
