4. After downloading the scripts, follow the steps in Jamf Pro Administrator's Guide to add the scripts to Jamf.

   Install Rosetta 2 before installing ESET Security products

   If you are deploying ESET Security products on macOS computers with Apple Silicon (M1 chips), ensure you install Rosetta 2 before you run the ESET installation scripts.

6. Click Add to select the scripts to add to the policy.

7. Add the following Parameter Values for the Endpoint script:

   • Parameter 4 (Required): Type 'EES' (if you use ESET Endpoint Security) or 'EEA' (if you use ESET Endpoint Antivirus)
   • Parameter 5 (Optional): License Key or Security Admin in the format PID:SecurityAdmin:Password, for example — 123-ABC-456:user=security.admin@email.com:pass=SecurityAdminPass

   Double deployment

   Before adding deployment targets, ensure no other installation policy for earlier versions of the ESET security product is assigned to the intended targets. This may cause the product to be installed twice, resulting in the product not functioning.
   If you are using ESET PROTECT or ESET PROTECT On-Prem and Jamf, check the installation policies in both.

   

10. Click Save to apply your changes.

III. Additional options

• Verify you can manage the ESET Endpoint using ESET PROTECT or ESET PROTECT On-Prem: Open the ESET PROTECT or ESET PROTECT On-Prem Web Console, click Computers and verify that the Jamf endpoint is displayed in the All Group.
• If you did not type the License Key or Security Admin during the install scripts, you can activate the ESET products using ESET PROTECT.
• Extension Attributes: Extension Attributes show information regarding ESET products in the Computer details → Search Inventory → General section.

Follow the instructions below to add the Extension Attribute:

1. Open Jamf pro and click the All Settings gear icon → Computer Management → Extension attributes.

   

2. Click New to create a new extension attribute.

   

3. In Display Name type a name for the extension attribute, select Script in the Input Type drop-down menu and then paste the ESETstatusEA.sh (right-click and select Save link as) script into the Shell field and click Save.
