ESET Remote Administrator (6.5.34):

• Offline repository may not work on all systems (it might fail in case of a weak internet connectivity).
• When manually upgrading ESET Mobile Device Connector, the upgrade may fail due to previous installation of Mobile Device Connector not being able to stop its service.
  Solution: Set the Mobile Device Connector service Startup type to “Manual”, then restart the service from within Services and run the upgrade procedure again.
• It is not possible to use Windows Phone for two-factor authentication if ESET Remote Administrator is a part of the domain and domain user is provisioned.
• Certificates with validity ending after year 2037 are not supported on Mac OS X. It is not possible to parse a date variable from the Certificate Authority on Mac OS X. The Agent cannot connect, because OS X cannot accept the Certificate Authority.
• Mobile Device Connector (MDC) requires unique device identification to be able to process device enrollment correctly, as unique device identification is needed by internal structures of MDC. Some Android devices might have the same device identification, and those devices will fail to enroll into MDC.
• Versions of ESET Rogue Detection Sensor included in previous versions (6.1.33.0 and earlier) of ERA cannot be upgraded to the version included in ERA 6.4.29.0.
  Solution: Uninstall the previous version of RD Sensor, and then install a new RD Sensor from the repository.
• Installing ERA Agent on macOS Sierra (10.12) requires root privileges.
• MDM can stop working after a mobile device's static object is removed (for example, if a task or policy is removed from the device).
  Solution: This is a database-related issue—contact ESET technical support to resolve.
• When performing upgrade of previous versions of ESET Remote Administrator to version 6.5, it might happen, that it is not possible to connect to ERA Server. Even though the MSI is already upgraded to version 6.5, upgrade of database is still in progress. In specific cases, when the database is too large, or hardware is not powerful enough (slow HDD, not enough RAM) it could take longer time to complete. It is forbidden to reboot the computer during this process, as it will result in a corrupted database.
  Solution: Revert DB from backup and perform the upgrade again.

ESET Endpoint Security for Android (2.1.11):

• Due to recent changes in Stock Android by Google, we are not able to execute relevant steps related to Wipe command properly anymore. To ensure at least some data security on Android 6 devices, this command behaves the same way as Enhanced factory reset, i.e. among other things, the process will end up with a restore to factory default settings.
• Due to recent changes in Android 7.0, Google allows the user to deactivate an active device administrator and uninstall the application in a single action. Users can now uninstall EESA without entering the admin password.
• If you have active application on your device that has screen overlay permissions on your Android 6 (Marshmallow) device, you will be unable to grant permissions to any other application including your ESET product. To enable permissions for your ESET product, you must disable screen overlay permissions for the application.
