    Apologies for posting what is probably a lame question, but can this be installed over the top of 3.1.11, or must that be removed first?

    Many thanks,



    Jim

    My SBS 2003 R2 upgrade was fine, no issues.


    On SBS 2008 the upgrade fell over half way through, saying it couldn't create the backup of the configuration database. The solution was to "run as administrator", except as it's a .msi you don't get that option on Explorer's context menu. So I had to right-click on Start/Programs/Accessories/Command prompt and "run as administrator", then run the .msi from within the command prompt window. It then upgraded okay.

    PS Ability to remote-install clients in parallel is a HUGE improvement, and VERY welcome. Thank you!

    I'm finding a small bug in the console where there are odd times where you go into the "Clients" tab and let it sit there, most of the clients disappear until the next refresh occurs.

    Not a big issue, just a minor annoyance. Overall, I'm very happy on how the upgrade went. The only problem was that the services couldn't start up automatically during the install because I had to re-enter the login password for the service to start up. (Very useful to have for push deployments.)

    You maybe have choosen Ignore option after setup detected that RA tables already existed. But this is only may hypothesis. Could you attach the whole setup log?

    We have ERAS installed on our antivirus server at our main office, and also having ERAS installed on multiple site servers.

    What's upgrade procedure?

    Install 4.0 over the top at the main office and all site servers?

    Then proceed with an over the top installation of ERAC on all systems running the console?

    Thank you in advance,
    Brian

    I have this bug on all 3 installs of the Console I've done. Windows 7, 2008 and XP. If you manually hit the refresh button a couple times, they usually come back.

    I've just upgraded to RAS 4 but since then I've not been able to do push installed. The diagnostics test says it's passed but the actually push install simulation fails at:

    Registering ESET Installer as a Service:Result Code: 1726 (The remote procedure call failed.)
    Diagnostics conclusion:Result Code: 1603 (Fatal error during installation.)

    Edit: I'm running it on Server 2003

    Push Also does not work here with ERA 4, OR ATLEAST not on a Server 2008


    My workaround is to push with a 2003 machine.

    Re: FAILED :'(

    Upgrade RAS from version 3.1.x to 4.0.122 failed.

    It's problem with MySQL on Linux. Because on linux MySQL is case-sensitive (but on windows is not).

    Upgrade script executing command "drop TABLE TASK", but table name is "Task". Then the script will crash when creating the same table.

    Today I reported it to Eset support.

    When is there a new version coming with less bugs. its kinda annoying to have 2 servers, 1 to push and 1 to monitor everything...

    + i cant use the upgrade button now because the accounts arent in the list of the push server.


    its like 3-4 months ago when they released this. I want to push with a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine :S not with a old 2003 that needs to leave.


    Please release a new version soon. with less bugs and fixes (first less make this work and then release new features).
