The ESM Beta Team will contact you and provide you with the software and license key to begin testing. You will also be able to interact directly with other Beta Force members and our Comodo product team in a special section of the forum that you will be granted access to.
Comodo Beta Force members who are among the first to provide beta feedback will receive a limited edition Tee shirt. Our sincerest thanks for helping us make Comodo Endpoint Security Manager Business Edition the best it can be.
when are we supposed to get our copy of the beta? i submitted my info to fiolls about 2 months back and i went through the link released today and provided my info just to be sure it was submitted.
If you’ve previously had email contact with Comodo regarding beta testing Endpoint Security Manager 2.0 (in connection with our previous calls for beta testers in the forum), then you are already in our database and will be receiving a license key and download instructions on or about Monday 8/1. Next we will respond to the testers who have just signed up via the Web form.
And, yes, the CIS included in the ESM 2.0 beta is CIS 5.8 aka CIS 2012. There’s a reason for this. One of Comodo’s innovations in CIS 2012/5.8 is that the standalone CIS is fully manageable (just click Manage this Endpoint on the More tab) once you introduce ESM in your environment. In about a minute, you’ve got a managed endpoint! There’s no rip-and-replace with a new managed AV version, no redefining the settings in the console that have been working for you – it’s a real game-changer for small businesses and others migrating from standalone AV.

If you use CESM 2.0.
If you install CIS first than ESM you can deploy agent from CIS: open CIS window/go to More tab/Manage this endpoint/Enter IP of your ESM server and port 57193 if you dont change it in Configuration tool and click install, enjoy
I see that remote IP addresses/domains can be managed within CESM 2.0 which is great!
Meaning that server is not necesarilly forced to be in the same network.
However, I have a question.
Can I manage 2 networks or more (each network with +2Pcs) with the same server and ESM?
How can this be achieve?
You can manage an unlimited number of remote networks. ESM 2.0 BE will see Agents checking in from these networks to the public IP/host of the server, and then you’ll be able to monitor/set policy for those stations. You can also display them separately in groups.
