[KB6245] "Review Device Control rules created after upgrading your OS X products" error on ESET Endpoint Antivirus/Security for macOS (6.x)

Issue

  • You receive the error message "Review Device Control rules" after upgrading to macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or upgrading your ESET product
  • "Enable removable media blocking" was enabled prior to the upgrade

Solution

Removable media has been changed to Device Control and some rules (settings) will not be migrated automatically. For example, Firewire, USB, iOS and Others will not be migrated and will have to be manually re-created in Device Control. 

Device control rules are found in Setup → Access Control → Device Control.

This is a known issue with ESET Endpoint Antivirus/Security for macOS (OS X) after upgrading to macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or upgrading your ESET product. 

  • Media Control settings are not migrated to Device Control during an upgrade from version 6 to 6.1 and later.
