This version has massive problems if using with RA 3.1.15 : NO signature database updates possible

What was done?
1. previous installed version 4.0.467
2. starting install 4.0.474 with option "keep settings"
3. reboot
4. update does not work

After cleaning up ALL temp and nod32 update directories it looks working.
But I didn't find any reasion for this or a general method to fix it.
Current state : this version is NOT acceptable for our company

Tested on three plattforms: XP SP3, 2003 R2 SP2 and Vista x64

Tomorrow I will inform our support company DATSEC and try to make a clean install on a fresh maschine without nod32.

Thats normal since v3 - goto settings (F5) > Update and "clear" all.
I always recommend it when updating - usual work when updating eset.
(i mean - nothing to complain meanwhile )

PS i have in mind that eset kb will recommend that procedure too

 

In cases like this, we'd need you to:
1, back up all dat files from the ESET install folder as well as the content of the "C:\Documents and settings (Users)\All Users\ESET\ESET Smart Security\Updfiles" folder
2, try updating via Windows shares instead of HTTP to see if it makes a difference
3, as the last resort you can try clearing the update cache, but we'll surely need to figure out the root of the problem so the previously backed up files may come handy.

Let us know about the result please.

 

Mine works, no reboot required! RA 3.1.15 shows my 4.0.474 clients as updated with the latest signatures, but warns that the systems need a reboot (I installed over 4.0.467).

 

I am confused about something. When Nod32 does it's updates, does it only update the signatures, or does it also update the program to the latest version? In other words, do I need to always download the new versions as a whole from the website? It seems like to me the most logical thing for eset to do would be to update the program from within itself. If I have to redownload the entire program again, do I just install it over the previous version already installed?

Anyone?

 

1. I will test some more clients and possible situations today and if the problems still exists send the required data to datsec
2. sorry, this isn't an option for us
3. can this be done via RA, no chance to click manually at over 1000 servers.

- only updates and program modules (if selected)
- yes
- yes (select "keep settings")

ok, testet two more system. One server 2008 x64 with version 4.0.437 (x64) and an xp sp3 client with 4.0437. They got there updates via RA without any problems before installing 474.

Then I made a manual upgrade installing with "keep" settings" options.
Did the required reboot.
Tried to update - ERROR!
Used the Advanced Setup Option "Clear Update Cache"
Tried to update - DONE!

OK, anything with updating is going wrong. How can this be solved - MUST be done remote.

mike

 

i heard that feature is in preparation

request that feature - first clear cache on update
(or write some autoit script that will do it for you)

 

In a previous thread where I asked about updating NOD versions, I was linked to a forum post that indicated that newer versions of NOD provide no additional protection and should only be downloaded and manually installed when encountering conflicts or problems.

Yet I see people on these forums scrambling to update their NOD versions to to 4.0.474.0 from the previous v4 revision.

Is there a compelling reason to update to 4.0.474.0 if the v4 revision I am running on seem to be operating fine? Will detection or cleaning be impacted if I stay on the older 4.0.4xx.0 versions? Is it a security risk?

 

Other than the fixes and changes in the new build, you are not required to upgrade, it is your option.

 

this is why u enable pre-release mode (test mode) i got it 1 month before it was confirmed stable and ready to go.

Eset is always stable with things, except the fact that windows are always updating and users have different software that might conflict with NOD32.

 

I also had this problem.
It was solved with disabling the original "Regular Update" setting under Scheduler, and then creating another one with same settings but with another name. (In Policy Editor).

Then every computer started update correctly.
