Application | Scan | Description
--- | --- | ---
ESET Server Security for Windows (formerly ESET File Security for Microsoft Windows Server) | Hyper-V scan | This type of scan allows you to scan the disks of a Microsoft Hyper-V Server, which is a virtual machine (VM), without installing ESET Management Agent on the VM.
ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint Server | SharePoint database scan, Hyper-V scan | This functionality lets ESET PROTECT On-Prem use the appropriate scan target when running the Server Scan Client task on a server with ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint.
