Configuring ePolicy Orchestrator Servers
The ePO server is the center of your managed environment, providing a single location from
which to administer system security throughout your network.
If your organization is very large or divided into multiple large sites, consider installing a separate
server at each site. This can reduce network traffic when managing agents, sending updates,
and replicating to distributed repositories within a local LAN. Network traffic has a larger impact
on your resources when this communication takes place across WAN, VPN, or other slower
network connections typically found between remote sites.
Are you configuring the ePO server for the first time?
When configuring the ePO server for the first time:
1
Review the conceptual information on user accounts, permission sets, server settings and
server tasks.
2
Decide on how to implement the flexibility of permission sets with user accounts.
3
Create user accounts and permission sets, and assign the permission sets as needed.
4
Set up your contacts list and email server settings.
