How to configure a mirror

ESET Endpoint Antivirus can be configured to store copies of detection engine update files and distribute updates to other workstations running ESET Endpoint Antivirus or ESET Endpoint Security.

warning

Update mirror creates copies of update files that can be used to update workstations that are running the same generation of the ESET Endpoint Antivirus for Windows (for example, ESET Endpoint Antivirus for Windows version 10.x creates update files only for version 10.x ESET Endpoint Antivirus for Windows and ESET Endpoint Security for Windows).

  1. Press F5 to access Advanced setup and expand Update > Profiles > Update Mirror.
  2. Expand Updates and make sure the Choose automatically option under Modules updates is enabled.
  3. Expand Update mirror and enable Create update mirror and Enable HTTP server.
