Solution
After you have created your Mirror server, you must configure client workstations to access it for updates. There are two methods for configuring client workstations to access the Mirror server.
Method 1: Create and push an .xml configuration file from the ESET Remote Administrator (ERA) to client workstations.
Method 2: Manually configure each client workstation to access the Mirror server.
If you only have 4 or 5 client workstations which will be accessing the Mirror server for updates, you may prefer this method.
