Release Notes for McAfee Agent 4.0.0 Patch 2 (Windows)
Workaround: The McAfee Agent must be rolled back to Common Management Agent version
3.6.0 Patch 4 for the systems with EMC's Power Path software installed.
Resolved issues
Issues that are resolved in this release are listed below.
1. Issue: The error message "Failed >> Setting naInet transfer option RelativePath =" appeared in
the McScript and Aviview log files when a UNC repository when it was defined without a
subdirectory following a share name. For example, the definition "\\server\share\directory"
worked as expected, but the definition "\\server\share" caused the error message to appear. The
download would work correctly in spite of this error message. (Reference: 391232, 455183)
Resolution: UNC repositories can now be defined with or without specifying a subdirectory.
2. Issue: When a UNC repository was configured to use download credentials and to use ping time
repository sorting, and the UNC repository was inaccessible for pinging, the McAfee Agent
might run with lowered privileges. When this occurred, the error message "Permission
denied" appeared in the Agent_ log file when the McAfee Agent attempted to write to the registry.
(Reference: 416303, 417404, 432919, 432931)
Resolution: The UNC Repository Updater process now continues to run under the System user's
credentials when a UNC repository cannot be reached during the ping time sorting process.
3. Issue: When UNC repositories were configured to use the download credentials of the logged-on
user and the logged-on user was not an Administrator, the download would fail. (Reference:
418162, 424677, 425454, 437584, 458651, 466124, 466186)
Resolution: The UNC Repository Updater process now allows UNC replication using the logged-on
user's credentials.
4. Issue: The download of a product deployment process could fail when an earlier version of the
product had been deployed. (Reference: 421222)
Resolution: The product deployment process has been updated to consistently detect and deploy
updated products.
5. Issue: Updates via a UNC repository would fail on 64-bit systems when the update was
configured to use the credentials of the logged-on user. When this occurred, the error message
"Failed to steal Explorer token" would appear in the Agent_<system name> log file. (Reference:
429292)
Resolution: The UNC Repository Updater process now runs on 64-bit operating systems when
defined to use download credentials.
6. Issue: During the repository download process when the download of a product failed and a
subsequent download of a different product succeeded, the download session was treated as a
success and not retried using the next repository. (Reference: 429950, 429759)
Resolution: The repository download process has been updated to retry the entire update from
the next repository when any products fail to download.
7. Issue: The McAfee Agent no longer provided an embedded credential installation package option.
