Use Override mode in ESET Remote Administrator
ESET Endpoint version 6.5 includes an Override mode option. When Override mode is switched on from ERA Web Console, a user on a client machine can change the settings in the installed ESET Endpoint product, even if the settings were locked by another policy. After the changes have been configured on the client machine, the configuration can be requested and saved as a new policy that can be applied on other computers.
