Create a Policy for ESET Management Agent connection interval

In this example, we are going to create a new policy for the ESET Management Agent connection interval. This value should be adjusted based on the size of your infrastructure by using policies after you install ESET PROTECT and deploy ESET Management Agents and ESET endpoint products to client machines.

Create a New Static Group. Add a new policy by clicking Policies. Click Actions at the bottom and select New.

Assign

Specify the clients (individual computers/mobile devices or whole groups) that are the recipients of this policy.

admin_pol_assign

Click Assign to display all Static and Dynamic Groups and their members. Select your desired computers or groups and click OK.


important

To assign all computers in a group, assign the group instead of individual computers to prevent a Web Console slowdown.

The Web Console displays a warning if you select a high number of computers.
