    Hello,

    I've installed ESET server and console on a new server and used it to push NOD32 out to clients on the network. The server was showing up in the console, but none of the clients I pushed the install to ever did! I thought I'd try the "Delete Tables (Reset Database)" maintenance option and see if the database re-populated itself. It hasn't :( and now neither the server or the clients are showing up in the console. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thanks,

    Stu

    Are the clients actually set up to connect to that ERAS? Is there a firewall between the server and the clients?

    Hi Marcos,

    The clients are all set up to get their updates from the server. There aren't any firewalls in between the server and the clients :doubt:

    I think Marcos means are the clients pointing to the ERA Server (so that they show up in the console)? This is under Miscellaneous > Remote Administration in the full setup tree.

    Note this is a separate setting to where you point the clients for their updates.

    I've updated the config and done a push install to one client to test. That was 10 minutes ago.....nothing so far. I'm concerned that the server isn't showing up in the 'servers' pane anymore despite the fact I'm connected to it! Am I going to have to re-do the install over the whole site? :oops:

    A server will appear in the server pane if a client has connected to it or another ERAS has replicated to that server.

    Try installing EAV locally and point it to the ERAS via localhost to make sure it works. For testing purposes you can configure it to connect to ERAS in 0 minute intervals. Also run "netstat -ab" to check if the port 2222 on which ERAS listens is not already used by another service/application.

    What is the server OS? Windows Server 2008 includes a firewall and you have to open port 2222 on it. Otherwise the clients can't talk to the server.
