McAfee MANAGEMENT EDITION 2.5 Administrator's Manual page 78

Creating Anti-virus Domains
To pre-configure this file, you must indicate the domain name in the
NP_DOMAIN parameter. Do not enclose the domain name in quotes, even if
it contains spaces. If you alter the currently supplied line, remove the
semicolon prefixing NP_DOMAIN so that the line is no longer treated as a
comment.
NP_DOMAIN is the only mandatory parameter. If you supply only this
parameter, the Management Agent sends out a broadcast around your
network to locate the Management Server for this domain. This only occurs the
first time the Management Agent starts up. Once it has a computer name from
the Name Provider, the Management Agent does not repeat this process.
We recommend that you also supply an IP or IPX address. If you supply the
IP or IPX address of the network card in the Management Server via the
NP_ADDR1 or NP_ADDR2 parameter, the Management Agent can contact
the machine directly without sending a broadcast. This will reduce network
traffic and is useful when installing to a large number of new machines
because it will prevent a broadcast storm.
By default, the Name Provider generates a name of the form:
< Domain name >< Number >
< Domain name > is the first 10 or fewer characters of the anti-virus domain
that the machine is joining.
< Number > is a five-digit number from 00001 to 99999 assigned
automatically by the Name Provider.
To substitute a different text string for the fixed portion of the name instead of
using the first ten characters of the domain name, enter the fixed portion in the
NP_PARTIAL parameter before the Management Agent runs. If you enter
more than 10 characters, the string is truncated. As shown in the following
table, each different text string will have machines numbered from 00001. So,
if you use text strings, MIS and Sales, you will have machines named
MIS00001, MIS00002 and so on, along with machines names Sales00001,
Sales00002 and so on.
