Installation manual

The Mirror feature is also available directly from the program interface in ESET Smart Security Business Edition and ESET

NOD32 Antivirus Business Edition. It is left to the administrator’s discretion as to which is used to implement the Mirror

server.

To activate and launch the Mirror server from ESET Smart Security Business Edition or ESET NOD32 Antivirus Business

Edition, follow these steps:

Install ESET Smart Security Business Edition or ESET NOD32 Antivirus Business Edition

From the Advanced Setup window (F5), click Miscellaneous > Licenses. Click the Add… button, browse for the *.lic file

and click Open. This will install the license and allow configuration of the Mirror feature.

From the Update branch click the Setup… button and select the Mirror tab.

Select the Create update mirror and Provide update files via internal HTTP server option.

Enter the full directory path to the folder (Folder to store mirrored files) where update files are to be stored.

The Username and Password serve as authentication data for client workstations attempting to gain access to the

Mirror folder. In most cases, it is not required to populate these fields.

Set Authentication to NONE.

Select components to be downloaded (components for all language versions which will be used in the network should

be selected). Components are only displayed if they are available from ESET’s update servers.

NOTE: To maintain optimal functionality, we recommend that you enable downloading and mirroring of program

components. If this option is disabled, only the virus signature database is updated, not program components. If the

Mirror is used as a part of ERA, this option can be configured in ERAC through Tools > Server Options… > Advanced tab

> Edit Advanced Settings… > ESET Remote Administrator > ERA Server > Setup > Mirror. Enable all program

language versions present in your network.

8.3.4 Mirror for clients with NOD32 version 2.x

ESET Remote Administrator also allows an administrator to create update file copies for client computers with ESET

NOD32 Antivirus 2.x installed. To do this, click Tools > Server Options > Updates > Create update mirror NOD32 version

2 products. This only applies to ERA; the Mirror included in the client solution of the Business Edition (v 3.x) does not

contain this option.

If you have a mix of 2.x and 3.x clients in your network, we recommend that you use the Mirror integrated in ERA. If both

Mirrors are activated on the same computer – one in ERAS for 2.x clients, and the other in a Business Edition client for 3.x

clients – it could result in a conflict between two HTTP servers using the same TCP port.

Updates for 2.x clients are stored in the folder ”nod32v2”, a subfolder of the main Mirror folder. It is accessible via the URL

address:

http://Mirror_server_name:port/nod32v2

or UNC path to a network drive:

\\Mirror_server_name\share_name\nod32v2

ERA is also capable of downloading program components for 2.x clients. To select program components to be

downloaded, navigate to Tools > Server Options… > Advanced tab > click Edit Advanced Settings… and expand the

branch ESET Remote Administrator > ERA Server > Setup > Mirror for NOD32 version 2. To minimize the volume of

downloaded data, only select language versions that are present on your network.
