Issue
- Deploy the ESET Management Agent using local or remote deployment option
Solution
The ESET Management Agent facilitates communication between client computers, other ESET PROTECT components and the ESET PROTECT instance.
The ESET Management Agent must be installed on all client computers where other ESET PROTECT components or ESET endpoint products are installed.
The ESET Management Agent can be installed using Local or Remote deployment. Read the descriptions below and click the appropriate link to view step-by-step instructions:
Local deployment
- All-in-one installer (Windows/macOS) – Download the ESET Management Agent and your ESET security product in the same package.
- Agent Script Installer (Linux/macOS) – Client computers receive a pre-configured Live Installer package from the ESET PROTECT instance as of an
.shscript. The admin or user runs the script to install the ESET Management Agent and ESET security product. This is the suggested method for small to medium-sized networks.
Remote deployment
- GPO or SCCM (Windows only) – Distribute the ESET Management Agent for enterprise environments or environments with a high number of client computers.
- ESET Remote Deployment Tool (Windows only) – A convenient way to distribute the installer package created by ESET PROTECT to deploy ESET Management Agent and ESET security products remotely on computers over a network.
