Hello,
I’m managing a network on a higher education school (about 200 workstations) and I try unsuccessfully to create on a Windows 2012 Standard Server a functional mirror to update the clients (Windows 7 Pro & Windows 10 Pro). The server provides an typical Active Directory Domain.
The server is running the Eset File Security 6.5 (last update), while the clients are running an Eset Endpoint Antivirus 6.6 version (last update also). I’m not currently using ERA, so I configured both installations manually.
These are the settings used on the server :
- Advanced Setup -> Update -> Profiles -> Basic : no changes, the default settings are fine, and the regular online updates are working
- Advanced Setup -> Update -> Profiles -> Mirror :
• Create update mirror : checked
• Provide updates via http server : unchecked (no http server on site)
• Folder to store mirror files : I made a Clear, and set the physical folder of the mirror (e.g. D:\Eset-Mirror). This folder has permissions (I created a special user « NODUSER », wich has « Write » permissions on this folder – the permissions are propagated into the whole content of the folder), and set as a hidden shared folder (e.g. \\server\Mirror$\)
• Username : is set on « Domain\NODUSER »
• Password : is also set
The settings on the workstations are :
- Advanced Setup -> Update -> Profiles -> Basic -> Update Server :
• Choose automatically : unchecked
• Update server : \\server\Mirror$\
- Advanced Setup -> Update -> Profiles -> Basic -> Update from Mirror :
• Username : is set on « Domain\NODUSER »
• Password : (same)
On a workstation, I checked the network access on the shared folder (\\server\Mirror$\ from the « NODUSER » account) and it works (the Windows explorer opens, and displays the Eset update files). When I try to update the Eset product on this workstation (e.g. right-click on the icon of the status bar, and select « search for updates »), I still get this message : « an error occured while downloading update files ».
No settings changes I tried this few days managed to solve the problem. What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks for your advices ...
