ESET PROTECT

• Incorrect character encoding in the Web Console error message in non-English languages when the help pages are not set up in an offline environment.
• Some context menu actions in Computers are unavailable (grayed out) when they should be available (for example, Isolate from network, End network isolation, Enable EDTD, Last used tasks). Workaround: You can run these actions from Computer Details → Computer button (Enable EDTD), or use Client Tasks.
• After upgrading from ESET PROTECT 8.0 to 8.1 via Components upgrade task, domain logins fail after one successful login. Workaround: After the failed login, unselect the Log Into Domain check box on the ESET PROTECT Web Console login screen and then select the check box again.
• Unable to log into the Web Console after the upgrade when a username or password contains special characters –  Fixed in ESET PROTECT 8.0.17.1
• Generating of .pdf reports does not work for ESET PROTECT Server installed on CentOS 8 – To fix this issue, you can buy and install a third-party QtWebKit4 package.

• Solution: Click "Continue", edit the task and recreate the trigger in ESMC.
• Mobile Device Connector does not accept certificates from ERA 6.5 after the upgrade. A new certificate with the CA included needs to be generated in ESMC version 7 and updated via policy to connect clients, to prevent the need for re-enrollment.
• When manually upgrading ESET Mobile Device Connector, the upgrade may fail due to the previous installation of Mobile Device Connector not being able to stop its service.
  Solution: Set the Mobile Device Connector service Startup type to “Manual”, then restart the service from within Services and run the upgrade procedure again.
• It is not possible to use Windows Phone for two-factor authentication if ESET Security Management Center is a part of the domain and domain user is provisioned.
• Certificates with validity ending after the year 2037 are not supported on Mac OS X. It is not possible to parse a date variable from the Certificate Authority on Mac OS X. The Agent cannot connect, because OS X cannot accept the Certificate Authority.
• Mobile Device Connector (MDC) requires unique device identification to be able to process device enrollment correctly, as unique device identification is needed by internal structures of MDC. Some Android devices might have the same device identification, and those devices will fail to enroll in MDC.
• Installing ERA Agent on macOS Sierra (10.12) requires root privileges.
• MDM can stop working after a mobile device's static object is removed (for example, if a task or policy is removed from the device).
  Solution: This is a database-related issue—contact ESET technical support to resolve.
• When performing an upgrade of previous versions of ESET Remote Administrator to ESMC V7 it might happen, that it is not possible to login to the web console for a longer period of time.
• Using emojis or other 4-byte characters in certificates & object names will cause database errors and server crashes in some cases.

ESET Endpoint Security for Android (EESA)

• Due to changes in Stock Android by Google, we are not able to execute the relevant steps related to Wipe command properly anymore. To ensure at least some data security on Android 6 devices, this command behaves the same way as Enhanced factory reset, i.e. among other things, the process will end up with a restore to factory default settings.
• Due to changes in Android 7.0, Google allows the user to deactivate an active device administrator and uninstall the application in a single action. Users can now uninstall EESA without entering the admin password.
• If you have an active application on your device that has screen overlay permissions on your Android 6 (Marshmallow) device, you will be unable to grant permissions to any other application including your ESET product. To enable permissions for your ESET product, you must disable screen overlay permissions for the application.

• You cannot deactivate Endpoint License from ESET License Administrator.
• The “Scan on File“ action blocks communication between VMware Fusion from version 7 and vCenter on OS X from version 10.10.4
  Solution: You must set exclusions and exclude the following folder:
  • On macOS 10.13 and older :
    /System/Library/Preferences/Logging/Subsystems
  • On macOS 10.14:
     /private/etc/*.*
