User Interface will not display


Recommended Posts

Hello,

The ESET endpoint security is unable to load the User Interface.  When a user tries opening from the system tray or program list clicking to open does nothing.  see the screenshot attached,  I only changed the start mode policy to silent. I changed back to minimal 2 days ago and still cannot open.

Is there a different policy that would affect this?

Thanks

Refer to the screen shot you posted. A Start Mode of Minimal will only allow notifications to be displayed.

Appears the Manual setting is what you desire:

Manual – The GUI is not started automatically on logon. Any user may start it manually.

I have the policy set to minimal which states   "The graphical user interface is running, but only notifications are displayed to the user."

currently, no notifications are showing and no one but admin can open the GUI which is the behavior for silent start mode.  I have  tried reinstalling on an affected computer.

Refer to the below screen shot and ensure that your Alerts and Message box settings are the same as default values shown.

As previously posted as far as I am aware of, the policy setting must be set to Manual to allow non-admin access to the Eset GUI.

My alert and messages boxes look identical.

so I needed to disable to 2 settings in User Interface < Access Setup for this to work.  I marked them below, now I can pull up the UI and settings are setting off a UAC prompt.   Is the expected behavior?

Below is what the Eset user manual states about these settings:

Quote

Access setup.

Password protect settings – Indicate password settings. Click to open the Password setup window.

To set or change a password to protect setup parameters, click Set.

Require full administrator rights for limited administrator accounts – Leave this option active to prompt the current user (if he or she does not have administrator rights) to enter the administrator username and password when modifying certain system parameters (similar to the UAC in Windows Vista). The modifications include disabling protection modules or turning off the firewall.

For Windows XP only:

Require administrator rights (system without UAC support) – Enable this option to have ESET Endpoint Security prompt for administrator credentials.

This setting, "Require full administrator rights for limited administrator accounts," applies if your employees run under the limited admin account. Leaving this setting enabled would require full admin user name and password to be enter. This means their logon id and password.

If the employees are set up as standard user accounts, then this setting would have to be disabled. It also means it would be trivial for malware to access Eset settings and disable/modify them.

This setting, "Require administrator rights (system without UAC support)," only applies to Win XP.

Warning - do you really want to give your employees access to Eset internal settings on their PC's?

Thanks, I got the UI working again.
