Setup and maintenance

Initial setup

  1. Download a package with a full update of the detection engine and scanner modules. Open the Download Micro update packages section and according to the version of your product and bit version of your system, download a full Micro update package.
  2. On a server in a local network, which may not have a constant internet connection (but must be accessible by client computers), configure a shared network folder \\updateserver\micro. Ensure the folder is empty. Note the UNC path format for shared folders.
    Alternatively, use a local network address like http://updateserver.local/micro/.
  3. Extract the contents of downloaded full Micro update package to folder \\updateserver\micro. When extracting, preserve the folder structure in the archive and do not create any new folders or files.
  4. After extraction, the shared folder should contain \\updateserver\micro\dll\*.nup and \\updateserver\micro\dll\update.ver.
  5. On a client computer connected to the same network, configure the update profile for ESET endpoint products to update from \\updateserver\micro.
