Solution

Automatic ESET Management Agent upgrade

ESET Management Agent automatically upgrades to the latest version compatible with the installed ESET PROTECT Server. The auto-upgrade is enabled by default. ESET Management Agent auto-upgrade triggers around two weeks after the latest ESET Management Agent version is released into the repository.

Open the ESET PROTECT Web Console.
Click Tasks → Add → Client Task.
Type a task name into the Name field and select ESET PROTECT Components Upgrade from the Task drop-down menu.
Click Settings, select the check box next to I agree to the current Terms of Use and additional legal documents... and Automatically reboot when needed, and click Choose server.
Select the check box next to your ESET PROTECT Server and click OK.
Click Finish and create a trigger to execute the task, and select the target devices.
