Do you have the ESET kexts and Team ID as Approved Kernel Extensions? These are pushed out using a Configuration Profile and required on 10.13.6 or later.
Yeah i have that set up. Unless you spot something wrong @Look
You need the actual KEXT Bundles in there, try adding the following in the lower part.
com.eset.kext.esets-kac
com.eset.kext.esets-mac
com.eset.kext.esets-pfw
com.eset.kext.esets_kac
Hi @jalcorn, did you use the add_token tool to license ESET?
@a.simmons No, turns out it was activity all the macs with the same licenses.
Does anyone know the location of where the ESET config file is saved?
We would like to push out the config file, and while we can export and import it, I cannot find where it is saved when imported (does not look to be the same location as for SCEP).
Many thanks
Found it: Library/Application Support/ESET/esets/modules/data/backup/
(or is this just the backup of the config file) distributing to this location does not seem to work? Any suggestions gratefully received.
@jalcorn where did you get the script to install agent? Can you share please?
I think you get it here https://support.eset.com/kb7026/?locale=en_EN&segment=business
@jkaigler You can log into your set portal and download it there. They give it out.
Is there any way to make the application run in the background the first time it runs?
@a.simmons I have it run the agent at enrollment. Then Once the agent is installed ESET sees it and installs the app.
@sdunbar
Trying to run the esets_set command throws this error when I test:
"Cannot open file /Library/Application Support/ESET/esets/etc/esets.cfg: No such file or directory"
So I assume thats where it may save them. I've also been toying with moving around the settings.json from /Library/Application Support/ESET/esets/cache/data/ but I've not made much headway.
Also I'm unsure if there is any script available to those of us moving over from SCEP for Mac, and when I contacted their support about it I was told there was no way to customize the installer at the time of installation, even though the pkg file allows for GUI customization choices.
@jalcorn I opened a ticket with ESET support, this is their response ...
Thank you for contacting ESET North America Technical Support.
At this point there is no official script that is offered to assist wit the deployment. With JAMF you should be able to preload the kernel extensions and push out the package installer.
@jkaigler This link will point you to the right spot.

@jalcorn Are you an ESET customer outright or are you cutting over from SCEP for Mac?
@andrew.nicholas I have Jamf installing the agent and then ESET sees the agent but no app and then installs it.
@jalcorn Thanks for responding. Did you work with ESET as a vendor directly and thus got the ERA or did you claim the ESET licenses and app installer per Microsoft on their decomming of SCEP for Mac (rebranded ESET)?
@andrew.nicholas Im not sure if i understand. We have never used SCEP, we have only used eset.
@jalcorn Thanks, that helps confirm what I thought. Microsoft and ESET are offering users a free year of the client as Microsoft is EOLing SCEP for Mac at the end of the year, however it appears to be only the client and there are no real configuration or deployment options available to the installer.
@andrew.nicholas ahh okay. Yeah there full suite is worth it.
@andrew.nicholas I'm in the same situation as you, moving from SCEP to ESET. I haven't found a way to configure it or suppress prompts like the one below
@a.simmons : To configure it you should run the 'business' installer, select the remote option and configure it as needed. This will produce setting files (/tmp/esets_setup.dat and /tmp/program_components.dat) you ship with the installer (or create by a pre-pre-install script). I did so, but still get the same pop-up about 'New network connection' 
So I am not sure whether my config was not taken, or whether this is a feature that can not be configured.
I find it very hard to find mac related info on the ESET website, and in particular anything related to remote install without using their Remote Admin Console.
@mschroder I've had a rather long email thread with their support and the culmination is that customization of this product without the ERA is not possible. Logic would dictate that since options can be changed manually when running the GUI installation then there must be a command line method of doing so, but I've not been able to come up with anything yet.
@andrew.nicholas That is an interesting message, makes me wonder what the famous program_components.dat is good for. I don't think we want to go for the ERA, but seems we have to have another look before deciding on that.
