Issue

  • Client tasks are not executed when you submit them

When you create a new task in ESET Remote Administrator Web Console (ERA Web Console), the task is added to a queue and will be executed automatically the next time the client computers check in. If you want to have a task execute immediately, you can send a wake-up call to client computers. The client computers will check in as soon as they receive the wake-up call, and any queued tasks that were set to run immediately (or at a time earlier than when the wake-up call was sent) will be executed.
