Issue

  • A synchronization task is required to synch the ESET Remote Administrator (ERA) Virtual Appliance or ERA for Linux with Active Directory
     
  • If automatic synchronization fails in ERA for Windows Server, you can use a task to sync ERA with your Active Directory
     
  • Configure communication between your ERA Virtual Appliance and your existing Active Directory.
     
  • No agent icon next to computer name and inability to push install

Solution

Prerequisites

For the Active Directory (AD) sync task to run effectively, it is important that all AD objects that will be synced and their corresponding DNS and reverse DNS records are correct on all servers. Any inconsistency in these items can result in incorrect sorting of AD objects or excess AD objects being placed in the Lost and Found group.

Solution

  1. Open ESET Remote Administrator Web Console (ERA Web Console) in your web browser and log in.
     
  2. Click Admin  → Server Tasks → Static Group Synchronization and then click New.

  1. In the Server Connection Settings section, type the following information into the corresponding fields:
    • Server: Type the Servername or IP address of your domain controller.
       
    • Login: Type the login credentials for your domain controller in the format DOMAIN\username.

      Type the domain and username in all caps

      Be sure to type the domain and username in all caps, as Linux systems require this formatting in order to properly authenticate queries to an Active Directory server.

    • Password: Type the password used to log on to your domain controller.

  2. Click Browse next to Distinguished Name. Your Active Directory tree will be displayed. Select the top entry to sync all groups with ERA, or select only the specific groups that you want to add. Click OK when you are finished.
