Copy current article URL Share via email

After you import your MSP account and the MSP tree is synchronized, you can start setting up companies. The MSP customer setup creates:

•A custom ESET Management or bundled Agent and ESET security application installer. The MSP customer setup does not support creating ESET Full Disk Encryption installers or ESET Inspect Connector installers.

•An MSP user which can manage company computers using the Web Console.

You can also skip the MSP customer setup, but we recommend that you complete the MSP setup.

|  | You can set up only a company with at least one valid seat.

1.In the Computers window, click the gear icon next to the company you want to set up and select Start MSP customer setup.

2.To save the configuration as default setup, select the check box under Remember settings. Click Continue.

3.To create a custom installer during the setup (recommended), select the check box under Create installer.

4.You can create two types of installers:

•Agent-only installer (all platforms)—You can install this Agent script installer on Windows, macOS and Linux computers.

•All-in-one installer—The installer consists of ESET Management Agent and selected ESET business security application (Windows). If you do not see the All-in-one installer option, ensure a subscription is assigned to the company.

o Application/Version—Select an ESET security application that will be installed together with ESET Management Agent. By default, the latest version is pre-selected (recommended). You can select an earlier version.

oSelect the language from the Language drop-down menu.

oSelect the check box I agree to the current Terms of Use and additional legal documents (End User License Agreement) applicable to the installed ESET protection and acknowledge the Privacy Policy. See the legal documents for ESET applications, services and platforms.

To save the installer in Installers for future use, select the check box next to Save installer in installers section.

Advanced installer settings (recommended)

Server hostname is the address where ESET Management Agents connect to the ESET PROTECT Server. Select a different port for Agent—Server communication if necessary. If you change the port, you must change it for all connecting agents and also in More > Settings. Ensure that all client devices that will use the installer can reach the Server hostname address. See the MSP environment recommendations.

Enable HTTP Proxy settings

If you use an HTTP Proxy (we recommend using ESET Bridge), select the check box Enable HTTP Proxy settings. Specify the Proxy settings (Host, Port, Username and Password) to download the installer via Proxy and set ESET Management Agent connection to Proxy to enable communication forwarding between ESET Management Agent and ESET PROTECT Server. The Host field is the address of the machine running the HTTP Proxy. ESET Bridge uses port 3128 by default. You can set a different port if needed. Ensure to set the same port also in the HTTP Proxy configuration (see ESET Bridge Policy).
|  | The communication protocol between Agent and ESET PROTECT Server does not support authentication. Any proxy solution used for forwarding Agent communication to ESET PROTECT Server that requires authentication will not work.
The Use direct connection if HTTP proxy is not available check box is pre-selected. The installer wizard enforces the setting as a fallback—you cannot deselect the check box. You can disable the setting using an ESET Management Agent policy: o During the installer creation—include the policy in the Initial Configuration oAfter the ESET Management Agent installation—assign the policy to the computer

5.Click Continue to move to the User section.

6.If you want to create a new user for the company (recommended), select the check box next to the Create native user. The user can log in to the Web Console and manage the company devices. Type a valid username (not containing following characters , ; " ) and password for the new user.

a.Require password change—the user must change their password after their first login.

b.Access rights—select if user has Read and Use or Write access to the company objects (computers, policies, tasks).

|  | The AD synchronization is not available for users created using the MSP company setup.

Problems creating a user? Ensure you have the necessary permissions.

Click Finish to prepare the installer. Click the link and download the installer you need. You can also re-download the installer from the Installers menu if you have selected to save the installer.
