From here you can manage what NOD32 does on the server in the background, but unless you RDP to the server every so often or have a screen attached and turned on, you will not know when it finds something needing attention (like the fact my server was way behind on Windows Updates).
Do help here, you need to give NOD32 another way of alerting you. Fortunately, it can alert through email. Click on the Setup option, and then pick ‘Toggle Advanced Mode’.
You now have a full range of options available to you. For email and messenger-based alerting, pick Alert and Notifications in the Tools section. Fill in the appropriate details and it is probably best to change the minimum warning level to Informative. Below is a typical alert via email.
ESET NOD32 Home Edition is available as multi-system packages covering 1, 2, 3 or 4 systems for up to 3 years. it certainly seems that from there statements in their knowledgebase, your WHS could be one of those systems.
It certainly looks like a workable solution for those where NOD32 is a preferred product. When purchased as a multi-system licence, it seems price competitive with other commercial solutions and there is no penalty on WHS being a Server-based platform.
I notice from the ESET Trial Licence email that they will be showing at the annual ‘InfoSecurity Europe’ Show in London at the end of April. This is one of the trade shows I regularly attend so maybe I will get to ‘bend their ear’ on getting some better integration into WHS.
