. Hints & tips
. Export and other features of client XML configuration
From the ERA Console, select any clients in the Clients tab in ERA Console. Rightclick and select Configuration...
from the context menu. Click Save As... to export the assigned configuration of the given client to an .xml file
. The
.xml file can be used afterwards for various operations:
• For remote installations, the .xml file can be used as a template for a predefined configuration. This means that
no new .xml file is created, and the existing .xml file is assigned Select... to a new install package.
• For configuring multiple clients; selected clients receive a previously downloaded .xml file and adopt the settings
which are defined in the file again, no new configuration is created, only assigned by the Select... button .
Example: An ESET solution is installed on only one workstation. Adjust the settings directly through the program’s
user interface. When finished, export the settings to an .xml file. This .xml file can then be used for remote
installations to other workstations. This method can be very useful for tasks such as finetuning firewall rules, if the
“Policybased” mode is to be applied.
. Combined update for notebooks and mobile devices
If there are any mobile devices in your local network i.e., notebooks, we recommend that you configure a
combined update from two sources, ESET’s update servers and the local Update Server Mirror. First, notebooks
contact the local Mirror server, and if the connection fails they are outside of the oce, they download updates
directly from ESET’s servers. To allow for this functionality:
• Create two update profiles, one directed to the Mirror server referred to as “LAN” in the following example and
the second one to ESET’s update servers INET
• Create a new update task, or modify an existing update task through the Scheduler Tools > Scheduler from the
main program window of ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD Antivirus.
The configuration can be made directly on notebooks, or remotely using the ESET Configuration Editor. It can be
applied either during installation, or anytime later as a configuration task.
To create new profiles in ESET Configuration Editor, rightclick on the Update branch and select New profile from
the context menu.
The result of modifications should resemble the one displayed below:
The profile LAN downloads updates from the company’s local Mirror server http://server:, while the profile
INET connects to ESET’s servers Choose Automatically.
Next, define an update task which runs each update profile in succession. To do this, navigate to ESET Smart
.xml configuration files can also be extracted directly from the ESET Smart Security program interface.
