Client Reboot Tasks Fail after Appliance Upgrade (ESET PROTECT Server 9.1.2301.0 / Management Agent 9.1.2304.0)

[Rico 0]

Hi,

today I upgraded my ESET Appliance to the latest version and rolled out the latest Client Agent.

Since the update I have a strange behaviour with scheduled Client Reboot Tasks: I create the task as I always did 100 times before, the PC physically restarts at the scheduled time, but the task in ESET PROTECT WebGUI shows failed.

Is this any known bug?

Thanks!

BTW: Before the upgrade I used ESET PROTECT Server 9.0.2144.0 / ESET Management Agent 9.0.2141.0

So no one is experiencing this, it is special to my installation?

Or you guys are not using this feature?

I've tested it and the task appears as executed in the ESET PROTECT console:

I'd recommend opening a support ticket for help with further troubleshooting. The agent trace.log (may need to be generated with debug verbosity) will be needed.

Thanks for testing Marcos.

I've just opened a Ticket with the German ESET Support.

I see same issue on many computers after upgrade. For example I want to reboot ~100-200 computers updated to latest ES and in status "Reboot required", but with optional delay up to 7 days (sometimes users has long tasks like program compilation or some QA testing and force reboot is unacceptable). All agents are updated. I creating reboot task with 7 days delay. 7 days later I see that ~30% of computers were rebooted (by users manually or by task, don't know) and 70% computers still not rebooted and task just failed on them.

@Rico: please publish answer from support here if it will be. I don't want to create one more request...

Support still working on this and digging into my Server and Client Logs.

ATM I have the feeling they think I am the only one with this problem, so maybe it could help /speed things up if you open a ticket @mrac 😉

It's now officially reported as bug and will get a fix in one of the upcoming releases, but no ETA.
