Such products were most likely installed with an older version of the agent. These
agents are not automatically upgraded to the latest agent version that is on the ePolicy
Note
Orchestrator server. To upgrade the agent, you should also enable and run the
deployment task to install the new agent on the managed system.
You can install the ePolicy Orchestrator agent on systems used to create common
images for your environment. The first time the user logs into a system built using a
common image that includes the agent, the system is assigned a unique ID called a
global unique identifier (GUID).
Before creating an image for this purpose, remove the agent GUID registry value from
the agent registry key. A GUID is regenerated on the first ASCI with the ePolicy
Note
Orchestrator server.
When to use this method
The is a desirable method to use when:
Your organization uses standard installation images for new systems.
You may not have access to systems in some portions of your environment except
when they are brought in for repair.
For instructions, see the documentation for your preferred image-creation product.
You may already use other network deployment products in your organization to deploy
software. You can use many of these tools, such as Microsoft Systems Management
Server (SMS), IBM Tivoli, or Novell ZENworks, to deploy agents. Configure your
deployment tool of choice to distribute the
located on your ePolicy Orchestrator server.
For instructions, see the documentation of the desired deployment tool.
You cannot use ePolicy Orchestrator to deploy agents to WebShield appliances or
Novell NetWare servers. Instead, use a method such as a login script or manual
installation.
These systems require different agents, which can be downloaded from the McAfee
web site. These agent installation packages are not installed on the ePolicy
Note
Orchestrator server by default.
See your product documentation for specific details.
