A warning was received in reference so may want to do a cluster at a time. It worked in reference with the warning.
14) A new certificate will be delivered to ESET Clients according to the connection interval set in ESET Management Agent policies.
In reference they connect every 10 minutes. Before pushing this new policy they all had 7 policies applied. After they all connected they now had 8 policies applied. I created a simple report to see the policy count. I had to wait for 2 replication cycles (20 minutes) for them all to now have 8 policies
