ESET PROTECT Deployment
|
Ensure you fulfilled the requirements before proceeding with the ESET Inspect Server installation. We recommend not installing the ESET PROTECT Server and ESET Inspect Server on the same machine. We do not recommend using this process. Instead, use the GUI installation process. |
|
For installation purposes, use only the user with the Two Factor Authentication option disabled. |
1.Log in to the ESET PROTECT with proper rights (ESET PROTECT Admin rights or ask ESET PROTECT Admin to create and deploy connectors for you if you do not have sufficient rights).
2.Ensue the computer for installing ESET Inspect Server has an ESET Management Agent installed.
3.Click the desired computer and choose New Task.
4.Fill in the desired Name, Description, in Task Category, you can keep All Tasks, in Task select Software Install. Click Settings in the left menu or the Continue button at the bottom of the window.
5.Choose whether you want to install ESET Inspect Server from the repository or specify the URL path to the installer.
6.Fill in the Installation parameters field. Use the parameters from the table, or you can leave them blank (if it is an upgrade from the existing installation). Click Finish.
7.If the task is already created, you can rerun it on another computer or group of computers. See Client Tasks executions.
