Thank you for using McAfee Agent 4.0. This document contains important information about this release. We strongly recommend that you read the sections of the document appropriate to your operating system.
This section describes new and updated features in the current release of the software.
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (last release prior to this document’s publication date)
Laptops running Windows operating systems are differentiated from desktops, allowing separate ePolicy Orchestrator policies for each.
Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) technology replaces the previous installation technology. MSI technology provides the ability to:
The Sitelist.xml file now provides DNS and Netbios information along with the IP address of SuperAgents, facilitating identification of SuperAgents that do not have a static IP address.
The agent installation package includes support for thirteen languages, eliminating the need for language packs.
Three repositories (Current, Previous and Evaluation) are provided. If you are running McAfee Agent 4.0 and ePolicy Orchestrator 4.0, you can check any package into any of the repository branches. This facilitates controlled testing and rollout of new product releases and patches as well as engines and DATs.
Laptop users of Windows can configure proxy settings for downloading McAfee VirusScan updates while in the field. See Allowing users to configure proxy settings for details.
These products are supported in this release:
This section specifies the system requirements for McAfee Agent 4.0.
This release does not support Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition or Windows NT.
The McAfee Security single tray icon does not appear on 64-bit systems.
This section provides instructions for installing and upgrading McAfee Agent 4.0 for use with ePolicy Orchestrator versions 3.6.x and 4.0.
You must have administrative privileges to perform this task.
You must have root privileges on the Solaris system to perform this task.
You must have administrator privileges on the Windows system to perform this task. The agent extension must be installed on the ePolicy Orchestrator server before the agent is installed on any clients.
The agent extension must be installed on the ePolicy Orchestrator server before the agent is installed on any clients.
Agent version 3.6 (a Windows agent) cannot be upgraded to version 3.7 (a UNIX version).
You must have administrative privileges to perform this task.
Use this command to install the agent, site list and keys in their default locations. This command is the equivalent of double-clicking the program file in the installation package.
framepkg.exe
Use this command to install the agent in a folder other than the default. The example shown here specifies a folder for the installation files (instdir) and a folder for the data files (datadir). These can be the same or different folders.
framepkg.exe /install=agent /instdir=<target folder name> /datadir=<target folder name>
Use this command for installation and upgrade to include policies selected by the administrator rather than the default policies.
framepkg.exe /install=agent /agentpolicy=<full path of user-defined server.xml file>
Use this command to install the agent in its default location and specify a log file other than the default log file as the record of the agent’s activities.
framepkg.exe /install=agent /logdir=<target folder name>
Use this command to install the agent and specify a site list file and security keys (srpubkey.bin and reqseckey.bin) other than the defaults. This command is useful when upgrading an agent using framepkg_upd.exe. It specifies the server with which the agent communicates irrespective of the site information embedded in the original installation package.
framepkg.exe /install=agent /siteinfo=<full path of sitelist.xml>
The security keys must be located in the same folder as the site list. Use ePolicy Orchestrator to export the files:
Use this command to delete the currently installed agent and install a different agent only when:
framepkg.exe /install=agent /forceinstall
Use this command to allow all users access to agent files and registry, regardless of their user privileges.
framepkg.exe /install=agent /defaultpermissions
Use this command to install the agent without displaying information dialog boxes on the client.
framepkg.exe /install=agent /s or framepkg.exe /install=agent /silent
Use this command to install the agent and specify a language other than the target computer’s native language.
framepkg.exe /install=agent /uselanguage=<language code>
Language codes are:
|
Use either command to upgrade the agent to a new version.
framepkg_upd.exe or framepkg.exe /upgrade
Using these commands is the equivalent of double-clicking framepkg_upd.exe in the installation package.
If the sitelist.xml is from ePolicy Orchestrator 4.0.0 or later, the security keys must be located in the same folder as the site list.
frminst.exe /install=agent /siteinfo=<full path of target server’s sitelist.xml file>
Laptop users of Windows can configure proxy settings for downloading McAfee VirusScan updates while in the field. This requires making changes in the ePolicy Orchestrator console and in the VirusScan console. The ePolicy Orchestrator changes must be completed before making the VirusScan changes.
Known issues in this release include:
If you use Quarantine mode, the same rule must be added to the Quarantine Rules policy to avoid or correct the updating failure. You must restart the client after adding the rule to the Quarantine policies.
