  1. It seems that there is some inconsistency in databases on server and agents (internal counters that mark data that have been sent to server). This can happen if there were agents on computers that were reverted from backup (e.g. virtual machine snapshot) or time is not correctly synchronised on all machines (it was advanced into future and then it was set back).

     

    There is a mechanism that should automatically correct all data after some time. Make sure that time synchronisation is enabled and let server and agents run few days - it can take some time, at least 24 hours. To force agents to drop their internal state, you can use "Reset cloned agent" client task. But this should be really last resort action.

  2. Problem is caused by wrong password for server peer certificate or empty server peer certificate that was set in Server Settings. Unfortunately there is a bug with not working validation in Server settings that enables you to change peer certificate to not valid one. After that, server won't start up after restart.

     

    If you have exported certificates, then you will be able to repair installation. Certificates can also be retrieved from the database and be used for the repair. Other option is to revert to original backup snapshot of the appliance. I would suggest to contact our support team to help you.

  3. If you have successfully deployed ESET Remote Administrator Agents on target machines, then installing ESET Endpoint Antivirus is done by Software Installation client task (Admin -> Client tasks -> Software Install). Please see hxxp://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN3605

     

    You don't have to modify account for ERA Agent, where exactly did you read about it? KB reference - SOLN82, point 5, talks about changing account for ERA Server just for push agent deployment.

  4. The problem is that the agent does not yet know that EEA is installed - it is not communicating with the security product. It takes about a minute for the agent to detect installed EEA. The best way to automatically activate product is to use dynamic group called "Not activated security product". This group will be joined only by agents that are already connected to EEAs without activation.

  5. First try to refresh ERA login screen - e.g.: in Chrome it is F5 key and try again.

     

    If it is not still working, then it is possible that ERA Server or MySQL database is not running. Please login to management mode, exit to terminal and type 'service mysqld stop', 'service eraserver stop', 'service mysqld start' and finally 'service eraserver start'. Then refresh login screen a try again.

  6. SOLN3637 instructions were misleading. In Figures 2-4 and 2-6, there were missing Apply next to the modified parameters. It should have been already fixed.

     

    HTTP proxy and "regular" proxy are used as synonyms. Update part in Windows EES policy is only meant for special cases when you want only updates to be redirected through proxy or different proxy.

     

    1. Live installers support HTTP proxy. It must be set in server settings beforehand. Agent deployment task for Linux and Mac also support proxy. Only agent deployment task (push install) for Windows does not support proxy at the moment - this will be changed in the future.

     

    2. Yes, it is possible to cache everything through proxy except agent installation using deployment task on Windows. Software installation task also supports proxy settings. It means that product updates, product activation, repository access, agent installation with live installer and EES/EEA installation through Agent, all can be cached.

     

    3. Repository will also use proxy settings. Autoselect option does not need to be modified. As far as know, there should be no more steps in configuring HTTP proxy for ERA as only access point to internet.

  7. To suppress any dialogs shown by EEA or EES after installation, you can use INSTALLED_BY_ERA=1 msi parameter.

     

    To apply policies faster during upgrade, I would suggest to deploy Agent, let it replicate all necessary policies from a server - this depends on replication interval. And then install EEA 6.x using Zenworks. Agent should detect the upgrade and in a minute it will start managing EEA by applying policies.
