What's new

New features and enhancements in ESET Server Security:

•Rebootless upgrades—When upgrading to ESET Server Security version 12.1, the installer now includes a rebootless feature, allowing the upgrade to be performed without requiring a system restart. This feature is applicable when upgrading from ESET Server Security version 10.0 or later. However, if you are upgrading from version 8.0 or 9.0, rebootless functionality is only available on systems where Device control is disabled. A server restart is required for upgrades from version 8.0 or 9.0 with Device control active.

•ESET Vulnerability & Patch Management—Enhanced scheduling features based on requests from server administrators.

•Added Multithread scanning for Hyper-V and Device scans.

•Improved encryption for Graph API access tokens.

•Limit incoming RDP connections—RDP access restriction feature for ESET Server Security without a firewall component.

Note

If you perform an attended fresh installation locally on the server, the Limit incoming RDP connections to is set to Trusted zone by default. If you perform an installation remotely over RDP, the Limit incoming RDP connections to is set to All networks by default. This setting is meant to be temporary and to prevent your RDP connection from being cut off until you configure the Trusted zone.

In both cases, we recommend configuring the Trusted zone to include networks, IP addresses, or IP address ranges from which you specifically allow RDP connections to the server. Go to Network access protection > IP sets and edit Trusted zone IP set. After configuring the Trusted zone IP set to your needs, change the Limit incoming RDP connections to use the Trusted zone from the previous All networks setting to secure your server and take advantage of the RDP access restriction feature while having the RDP fully functioning within your company networks.

If you are using the firewall component, Limit incoming RDP connections to setting is not present. Configure the firewall to secure RDP according to your requirements.
