Yes, EventSentry includes a Remote Update (eventsentry_upd.exe) command line utility that will allow you to automate the remote update process. You can schedule the update using the Windows Task Scheduler and assure that all of your agents are always running with the latest up-to-date configuration. The utility also has an optional flag to update any remote agents that are out of date, notably after a patch or new version has been applied.
By default the utility is located in the EventSentry folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\EventSentry>eventsentry_upd.exe
