To continue ESET Management Agent and ESET security application deployment from the previous chapter:

1.Select I accept the Terms of Use and click Next. See the legal documents for ESET subscriptions, services and applications.

2.Type IP Ranges of the network in the form 10.100.100.10-10.100.100.250.

3.Select one of the following Scan methods:

•Ping scan—Looks for client computers with command ping.

|  | Some client computers in this network do not have to send a response to command ping because of firewall blocking the connection.

•Port scan—Uses port numbers to scan the network. See supported ports used for remote deployment of ESET Management Agents. Default port number is 445.

4.To find computers in the network, click Start scan.

5.Select the check box next to the computers you want to add and click Next.

6.Selected computers for remote deployment will be displayed. Ensure all computers are added and then click Next.

|  | Ensure that all selected computers have the same platform (64-bit or 32-bit operating systems).

7.Click Browse and select the All-in-one installer package you created in ESET PROTECT Web Console (on-premises or cloud).

•You can also select Use ESET offline install package (.dat file) created from the Live Installer (only the cloud ESET PROTECT).

•If you do not have any additional security applications installed on your local computer, deselect the check box next to Use ESET AV Remover. ESET AV Remover can remove certain applications.

8.Type login credentials for the target computers. If computers are members of a domain, type domain administrator credentials. If you log in with local administration credentials, you need to disable remote UAC on the target computers. Optionally, you can select the check box next to Use current user credentials and login credentials will be automatically completed.

9.Deployment method is used to execute programs on remote machines. Built-in method is a default setting which supports Windows error messages. PsExec is a third-party tool and it is an alternative to the built-in method. Select one of these options and click Next.

|  | If you have selected PsExec, the deployment will fail, because the tool is unable to accept the PsExec EULA. For a successful deployment, open the command line and run the PsExec command manually.

10. When the installation is started, "Success" will be displayed. Click Finish to complete the deployment. If deployment fails, click More info in the Status column to see more details. You can export a list of failed computers. Click Browse next the Export failed computers field, select a .txt file to which you want to save the list and then click Export failed computers.

You can check the status log (C:\ProgramData\ESET\RemoteAdministrator\Agent\Logs\status.html) on the client machine to ensure ESET Management Agent is working properly.

|  | The deployment may fail due to a number of reasons. In case of any problems with deployment, read the Troubleshooting chapter or verified example scenarios of ESET Management Agent deployment.
