Stable Client update

After the 6.6 debacle with Endpoint Antivirus, what is the recommended client version folks are updating to?

Not sure if you mean the issue caused by upgrading to EP6.6 via a Software install task when a license key was selected and which caused Endpoint to deactivate and subsequently not behave properly. The issue was fixed weeks ago and the latest version 6.6.2072.4 is stable and the latest one available.

Yeah we spent weeks fixing that...

I will run a test with the .4 rev you suggested, thanks Marcos!

Currently we tested 6.6.2072.4 on a few machines and the install went ok, had to manually reboot despite checking reboot when required.  We are trying now to push out to the clients synced from our AD and seeing quite a few failures, about 1.3 so far.  Any suggestions on whether we need install parameters or not?

Do we need to push the 6.5 update first?

Also we are on Remote Admin Console 6.4.295.0 , should we see any appreciable benefit to going to 6.5.522.0?

Upgrading to ERA v6.5 is not mandatory but highly recommended. For a list of changes, please refer to https://forum.eset.com/topic/11316-eset-remote-administrator-6531-has-been-released-and-is-available-to-download/ and https://forum.eset.com/topic/13632-eset-remote-administrator-6534-has-been-released/.

Please check workaround for this issue in one of my previous posts. Adding one command line parameter to Software installation task parameters should resolve this issue for v6.6 desktop products.
