See182 0 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hello, in my company we've got a lot of locations and currently all the client geht their Updates from our ERA Server, where the traffic goes over our VPN Tunnel. So in order to reduce the traffic I would like to install subservers in each location, where the server downloads the updates from our server or the ESET server and then deploys them onto the clients. How can I do this the best way? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rook 2 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Hello See182, What version of ESET Remote Administrator are you using? If you're using ERA5 you could technically set up a 'subserver' (with update mirror) on each site and set up upper server replication so that child ERA servers report information to the "Upper Server". This is described in this KB article: hxxp://support.eset.com/kb950Though, I would recommend going to the HTTP Proxy route. You could easily install an HTTP Proxy server on each site (I like Apache HTTP Proxy) and have clients on each site configured to update through the caching http proxy. Method 2 of this KB describes how to manually install: hxxp://support.eset.com/kb5950If going the proxy route, you'll need to change your "update server" address back to the default 'Autoselect' for ESET servers. Then configure your http proxy settings in the 'Tools > Proxy Server' section.***If you're already using ERA6 you should use the the proxy option, as ERA6 does not include an update mirror directly on the server component.

See182 0 Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 I'm using ERA6. So with proxy option you mean using a HTTP proxy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Rook 2 Posted September 9, 2016 Solution Share Posted September 9, 2016 Yes, for ERA6 I recommend using the HTTP proxy. Put one on each site, and modify your policies in ERA so that clients on site1 go to proxy on site1. Site2 --> site2 proxy. Etc..Apache HTTP Proxy (or Squid) can be installed on either Windows or Linux. You can refer to this article for instructions on installing HTTP Proxy on Windows: hxxp://support.eset.com/kb5950And you can refer to this help guide for Linux: hxxp://help.eset.com/era_install/64/en-US/http_proxy_installation_linux.htm Best,Rook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanka for your help Rook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
