Changing Agent hostname for remote deployments

[ChuckM 1]

The default installation for ESET forces all agent installations to use the server name as the hostname for agent installations. This would be OK for local deployments, however, for remote deployments, every time an agent needs to be deployed, we would manually need to change the agent hostname to the IP or the domain name of the ESET console.

How do I change this permanently as we ONLY do remote deployments?

I believe I found my answer. Changing the tbl_servers.server_identificator from the SQL database. Will report back if this actually works and any issues that comes with it, if any.

Yup. Changed the value and now agent hostname defaults to the new string value.

Indeed as of now, it is proper workaround fr this issue. This FQDN value will be used as default for installers, used in case override is not provided explicitly.
