To create a new task, click Add. From the Scheduled task drop-down menu, select Update and click Next. Enter the Task
name (e.g., ”combined update”), select Repeatedly every 60 minutes and proceed to the selection of a primary and
secondary profile.
If the notebook workstations should contact the Mirror server first, the Primary profile should be set to LAN and the
Secondary profile should be set to INET. The profile INET would only be applied if the update from LAN fails.
Recommendation: Export the current .xml configuration from a client (for more information, see chapter How to
diagnose problems with ERAS? ) and perform the above-mentioned modifications on the exported .xml file. This will
prevent any duplication between the Scheduler and non-working profiles.
11.5 Installation of third party products using ERA
In addition to remote installation of ESET products, ESET Remote Administrator is capable of installing other programs.
The only requirement is that the custom install package must be in the .msi format. The remote installation of custom
packages can be performed using a process very similar to the one described in chapter Remote installation .
The main difference is in the package creation process, which is as follows:
1)
From ERAC, click the Remote Install tab.
2)
Click the Packages… button.
3)
From the Package type drop-down menu select Custom package.
4)
Click Add…, click Add file and select the desired .msi package.
5)
Select the file from the Package Entry File drop-down menu and click Create.
6)
After returning to the original window you can specify command line parameters for the .msi file. The parameters are
the same as for a local installation of the given package.
7)
Click Save as… to save the package.
8)
Click Close to exit the installation package editor.
The newly created custom package can be distributed to client workstations in the same manner as the remote
installations described in previous chapters. A remote push install, logon or email push install will send the package to
target workstations. From the moment the package is executed, installation is handled by the Microsoft Windows
Installer service.
