MarcoFerraz 0 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Good afternoon, I went to update the Remote Administrator manually, but I did not pay attention to the installer that I sent the server to use to update, I ended up installing over the Remote Administrator the ESET® SECURITY MANAGEMENT CENTER. I can no longer access the Remote Administrator. Can someone help me ? Is there any way to remove SECURITY MANAGEMENT CENTER without affecting Remote Administrator?

Administrators Marcos 5,266 Posted October 7, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 7, 2020 Did you send an ERA component upgrade task to the server? Or you ran an ESMC all-in-one installer that upgraded ERA to ESMC? Is it a Windows or Linux machine or a virtual appliance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 5,266 Posted October 7, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 7, 2020 Please upload logs collected with ESET Log Collector here so that we can see what services are running and what was actually installed. Installation of the ESMC server on Windows 10 is not recommended. ESMC should be installed on a server operating system or deployed as a virtual appliance on a hypervisor.

Just for clarification, but ESET Security Management Center 7 is direct successor of ESET Remote Administrator 6 and except few exceptions, direct upgrade should be possible. Even ERA6 AGENT will be still able to connect to latest ESMC 7.2 server, so that upgrade of components is possible. So in other words, it makes almost no sense to upgrade to ERA6 - it will be soon completely out of support as it will reach it's end of life in a few months. In case ESMC server was already installed and it is running (please check Windows services), verify that also console was successfully upgraded - this can be verified easily, console login screen should be branded es "ESET Security Management Center". Also please provide more details of what you mean by "I can no longer access the Remote Administrator" - in case not even console is accessible, reason might be no-longer-supported java or apache tomcat version, which can be easilly solved by manual re-installation of console.

I understand, but how do I access the ESMC panel, the password I used to access ERA as an administrator user is not working in ESMC and I can't reset the password for the administrator user in ESMC because I can't find the program.

Administrators Marcos 5,266 Posted October 8, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 8, 2020 It appears that the console has been updated (it reads "ESET Security Management Center") but the server is still ERA v6.5. I would back up the database and run the ESMC all-in-one installer. Maybe it will be necessary to uninstall ERA 6.5 first (with the db backed up). Let's wait for @MartinK to respond.

How can I do this procedure? if i save the bank and uninstall, can i recover the machines in the structure they were in? for example, can I install ERA and access the policies and machines normally?

ESET Staff MartinK 383 Posted October 8, 2020 ESET Staff Share Posted October 8, 2020 As of now, easiest way how to restore access to ERA Server would be to install also ERA 6.5 console (both version can be actually installed side-by-side in Apache Tomcat). Another alternative is to try to upgrade ERA 6.5 server to ESMC 7.2 servers, so that both server and console are compatible -> incompatibility is most probable reason why you cannot login. During upgrade attempt, more detailed error why it failed might be shown, but most probable reason is that you do not meet some HW/software requirements that has changes since older versions. Regarding password reset, simplest would be to execute installation repair of ESMC/ERA server, i.e. run installer of the same version you are running or use repair in respective control panel.

If I install ERA on top of what I already have, can it be a problem? Or should I remove the existing one (but I don't want to lose the policies already applied to the machines and neither the machines) and reinstall. Do you indicate any procedure to reinstall?

Re-installation of console only will have no impact on data itself. What you have to avoid is uninstallation of ERA Server or database, as that is where al the date is stored.

MarcoFerraz 0 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 I uninstalled everything and reinstalled using the old bank, it worked back all the machines, but now I can't communicate with them; How can I get the server back to communicate with clients?

Generate an agent live installer and deploy it on clients, e.g. via GPO. You can also use the ESET Remote Deployment tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
