Or.. you could wait for the full implementation of the "Remote Administrator Components Upgrade" task :)

Surely this method is only a one time workaround if you are moving from the NA to GA builds.

FYI

These instructions are for updating the ESET Remote Administrator  Webconsole.

 

Don't forget there are numerous Applications...

They all begin with ESET Remote Administrator  (e.g. ESET Remote Administrator Server, ESET Remote Administrator Agent...)

Like everything else with this product, this only works about half of the time. i have desktops that are in this dynamic group and the command is never executed on them so i have to upgrade them manually.
