ESET PROTECT Server runs under Network service privileges that may not be sufficient to read all nearby computers. If no user credentials are present, the server reads all nearby computers from Network folders available in Windows that are populated automatically by the operation system. If there are credentials present, the server uses them for direct synchronization. |
Trigger
The Trigger section contains information about the trigger(s) which would run a task. Each Server Task can have up to one trigger. Each trigger can run only one Server Task. If Configure trigger is not selected in the Basic section, a trigger is not created. A task can be created without trigger. Such a task can be run afterward manually or a trigger can be added later.
Advanced Settings - Throttling
By setting Throttling, you can set advanced rules for the created trigger. Setting throttling is optional.
Summary
