ESET Remote Administrator (ERA) allows an administrator to deploy and manage configuration changes of ESET security products across multiple computers. Examples of these configuration changes include updating client workstation username/passwords, installing the latest virus signature updates, or configuring/removing scheduled tasks.
In order to configure or remove a Scheduled Task from all workstations through ERA, you must first alter the Scheduled Task configuration on one of the workstations. Once you have manually configured one workstation, return to the computer that has ERA installed and follow the steps below:
-
Open the ESET Remote Administrator Console (ERAC) by clicking Start → All Programs → ESET → ESET Remote Administrator Console. Click the Clients tab at the bottom left of the ERAC window.
-
The workstations on the network will be displayed in the Client name column on the left. Find the workstation that you have configured the Scheduled Tasks on, right-click on it and select Configuration (See Fig. 1-1 below).

The Client Properties window will be displayed. As soon as the status bar reads "Configuration Downloaded 100%", deselect the box that reads Then Run NOD32 Configuration Editor to edit the file. Then, click the Save As button (See Fig. 1-2 below).
