totalUser 0 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Hello! First of all I would like to say that I am new to this forum so as the product! I have local network with 180 workstations with eset as an antivirus program. What I want to accomplish is to disable proxy server on all client machines! So is there any possibility to disable proxy using VBS or maybe it could be done using registry? Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totalUser 0 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 unfortunately at this moment I don't have ESET Remote administrator so all I can do is to create vbs as a logon script... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Staff MartinK 383 Posted August 2, 2016 ESET Staff Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) Seem one of answers in hxxp://superuser.com/questions/419696/in-windows-7-how-to-change-proxy-settings-from-command-line (especially one linking this topic) may be helpful. I am just curious - could you please describe why would you do that and what is it's relation to ERA? Edited August 2, 2016 by MartinK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalUser 0 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 Ok, it seems that I asked my question incorrectly ...! At this moment each ESET antivirus takes updates from internet using proxy server which now is no longer available. It means that I need to change each ESET antivirus configuration to disable proxy server usage. If I would have an ERA server I think I could be able to remotely change configuration of all ESET antivirus apps, but since I don't have one I'm forced to create some logon script for GPO to do that! Now what I'm interested in is a possibility of using windows registry to disable proxy server usage in ESET Antivirus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimwillsher 65 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Remember you don't need a full server to run ERA, and for 180 machines an ERA would make a *massive* difference to your management of these machines. And I don't just mean management of ESET - ERA has a "run command" task, and we use that frequently for running commands on client machines - registry updates, restarting services, etc. ERA is designed for managing the AV software, but the "run command" task is actually a brilliant bonus feature. If you have a server, install it. If not, then I believe it will install onto a windows client (e.g. Windows 10) although it may not be officially supported. Or, download the "appliance" and use that. It's worth it, and once you have it in place you will never look back. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalUser 0 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 Thank you Jim! I followed your advice and downloaded ERA virtual appliance. Will post back my result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,257 Posted August 2, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 2, 2016 I agree. Without ERA you wouldn't be able to adjust ESET's settings as the registry values with settings are protected by Self-defense by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
