FAQ
- Why don't I see my new policy in ERA?
Policies don't get created in ERA until they apply to LabTech agents. If a policy isn't assigned to a LabTech group or is assigned to a LabTech group with no ESET agents then the policy won't show up in ERA until the policy is assigned to a group and an ESET agent joins the group.
- What policy do computers have after first installing the plug-in?
The ESET plug-in doesn't modify any computer policy settings until a policy is created and assigned to a group. Computers will keep all their previous settings until a new policy is applied from the ESET plug-in
- How do I assign global / default policies?
The easiest and recommended method is to create a new ESET Policy from the plug-in and assign it to the "All Agents" group in LabTech.
Alternatively you can edit the "LabTech Policies" policy and all parent policies to create policies that are inherited by plug-in managed policies.
- Can I change policies from the ERA server?
You cannot modify any policies under the "LabTech Policies" policy from ERA. Any changes will be overwritten by the plug-in during a maintenance cycle.
- Why do I still see a deleted policy in ERA?
Deleted policies are not removed from ERA. It is OK to leave these and let the plug-in clean up policies if needed.
- What happens to computers when their policy has been deleted?
If all policies that once applied to a computer are deleted, the computer will be assigned to the "LabTech Policies" parent policy until a new policy is assigned.
- How long does it take for a newly added computer to get its ESET Policy?
If the newly added computer has ESET software and is being managed by an ERA server being managed by the plug-in it will get its policy settings within ~6 minutes of joining any groups with ESET Policies assigned to it.
- What happens when a computers group(s) are changed or is moved into a new group?
If the new group contains ESET Policies it will get it's new expected policy from the plug-in. If it is moved out of all groups with ESET Policies assigned then it will hold on to its previous settings until a new policy is specified.
