• Client computers are not appearing in ESET Remote Administrator Web Console (ERA Web Console)
   
• Add client endpoints or servers to your managed network

Getting Started with ERA: Step 3 of 6

← Install ERA Server | Deploy ERA Agent →

Following installation, client computers found by ESET Remote Administrator (ERA) are automatically displayed in the ESET Web Console. If some client computers are not found, there are three ways to add them in the Computers screen.

• Active Directory synchronization—ERA automatically scans your existing Active Directory (AD) during installation, however if changes are required to your AD or client computers do not appear in ESET Web Console, run this task to re-sync ERA with your AD. 
   
• Manual Entry—You can add a new client computer manually at any time by submitting its IP address and/or hostname, or by importing a CSV file.
   
• ESET Rogue Detection Sensor—ESET Rogue Detection Sensor (RD Sensor) is automatically installed if you performed a package installation of ERA. It identifies client computers without ESET products installed and displays them on your dashboard. Use the RD Sensor report on your dashboard to locate client computers recently added to your network so that you can deploy ESET products to them.
   

See the Add computers section of the ERA Administration Guide for more information.

Active Directory synchronization

If you have an existing Active Directory (AD) in place, ERA may have already added the computers from your AD during installation. To view computers from your AD that are already added in ERA, open the ERA Web Console in your browser and log in. Click Computers  → All and select the check box next to Show Subgroups. If members of your AD are not shown, follow the steps below in the ERA Web Console to run the Static Group Synchronization task:

1. Click Admin  → Server Tasks.
    
2. Click Static Group Synchronization → Run Now. ERA will automatically add unmanaged computers from your AD to the All group. Click here for instructions to add a computer from All to a static group in ERA 6.

Using ESET Rogue Detection Sensor

A user must have the following permissions for their home group:

Once these permissions are in place, follow the steps below.

If you are not using AD synchronization, the easiest way to add a computer to the ERA structure is using Rogue Detection Sensor (RD Sensor). RD Sensor is automatically installed as part of ERA package installation, and begins working as soon as ERA Server is activated. Follow the instructions below to find new computers on your network using RD Sensor in ERA Web Console:

1. Click Dashboard  and expand the Rogue computers ratio report.

   Alternatively, you can click Import CSV to upload a CSV file containing hostnames of computers to add (delimit each hostname with a comma). See the Add computers section of ERA Online Help for more information.
    
4. Click Add when you are finished adding computers.
