[. . . ] The Description field can be used to further describe the group (e. g. , ”Computers in office C”, ”HQ workstations”, etc. ). Newly created and configured groups can also be edited later. 39 Click OK to create the group. Its name and description will appear on the left and the Add/Remove button will become active. Click this button to add clients you wish to include in the group (either double-click or drag-anddrop them from left to right). To find and add clients, enter all or part of a client name in the Quick search field and all clients containing the typed string will be displayed. Click the Refresh button to check for any new clients recently connected to the server. If manually selecting clients is not convenient you can click Add Special. . . Select the Add clients loaded in the Clients pane option to add all clients displayed in the client section, or select the Only selected option. To add clients that already belong to another server or group, select them from the lists on the left and right and click Add. Click OK in the Add/Remove dialog window to return to the main Group Editor window. Click the Add/Remove button to add or remove clients from groups, or click the Delete button to delete an entire group. Click the Copy to Clipboard button to copy the client and group lists. The last option in the Group Editor is using automatic group creation (with corresponding clients) based on the structure defined by Active Directory. Please note that this option is only available if ERAS is installed on a system with Active Directory. To adopt the Active Directory structure, click Synchronize with Active Directory. A client can also be added to a group by right-clicking it in the Clients tab and selecting Add to Group. . . Warning: If you use the Full synchronization option, all existing groups will be deleted!Otherwise new groups and clients in groups will be added, while the existing ones will be retained. Detailed configuration of Active Directory synchronization can be done using the configuration editor (ESET Remote Administrator > ERA Server > Settings > Active directory > By Groups/Active Directory Synchronization create). By default, only Computer security groups and Computer organization units are synchronized, however, you can add another Active Directory objects by checking the desired option. 5. 2. 1 Filtering If too many clients appear in the Clients pane, you can use filtering options. For more information, see section 3. 3, ”Information filtering”. 5. 3 Policies Policies are in many ways similar to Configuration tasks, except they are not one‑shot tasks sent to one or more workstations. Rather, they provide continuous maintenance of certain configuration settings of ESET security products. [. . . ] This method can be very useful for tasks such as fine‑tuning firewall rules, if the ”Policy‑based” mode is to be applied. 10. 4 Combined update for notebooks If there are any mobile devices in your local network (i. e. , notebooks), we recommend that you configure a combined update from two sources: ESET’s update servers and the local Mirror server. First, notebooks contact 10 . xml configuration files can also be extracted directly from the ESET Smart Security program interface. 73 the local Mirror server, and if the connection fails (they are outside of the office), they download updates directly from ESET’s servers. To allow for this functionality: • Create two update profiles, one directed to the Mirror server (referred to as ”LAN” in the following example) and the second one to ESET’s update servers (INET) • Create a new update task, or modify an existing update task through the Scheduler (Tools > Scheduler from the main program window of ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus). The configuration can be made directly on notebooks, or remotely using the ESET Configuration Editor. [. . . ]
