Release Notes for McAfee Agent 4.0.0 Patch 2 (Windows)

Resolution: 

An embedded credential installation package is now available through McAfee Tier III 

Support. For information on obtaining this package, see KB article KB59954.

8.  

Issue: 

Requesting updates from the ePolicy Orchestrator server through HTTP resulted in a large 

number of “client denied by server configuration…” error messages to be incorrectly reported in 

the server log file. (Reference: 433704) 

Resolution: 

The HTTP connection process has been updated to avoid creating this error message 

incorrectly.

9.  

Issue: 

During the deployment of Host Intrusion Prevention, the product detection script would 

prematurely end when the Host Intrusion Prevention service was not registered. (Reference: 

436914) 

Resolution: 

The script engine has been updated to properly detect and report unregistered 

services as an error rather than exiting.

10.  

Issue: 

Non-English versions of the McAfee Agent could fail to apply incremental DAT updates, and 

instead download the full DAT package, resulting in unnecessary network bandwidth consumption. 

(Reference: 439397, 441679, 443381) 

Resolution: 

The DAT update process has been updated to ensure that non-English versions apply 

incremental updates correctly.

11.  

Issue: 

The error message “File is corrupt. Downloading complete file again.” would be incorrectly 

written to the McScript log file during the update process. (Reference: 440080, 445479) 

Resolution: 

The update process has been updated to record this error message only when the 

file download process detects a corrupt file.

12.  

Issue: 

After a successful update of a DAT file, a temporary copy of the DAT package would not be 

deleted from the McAfee Agent data directory, resulting in unnecessary disk space consumption. 

(Reference: 440930) 

Note:

 This issue could consume all of a system's available disk space.

Resolution: 

The DAT update process now deletes the DAT package after a successful update.

13.  

Issue: 

The McAfee Agent upgrade process would fail to install when it could not successfully 

terminate the currently running version, resulting in a McAfee Agent that failed to start. 

(Reference: 441182) 

Resolution: 

The McAfee Agent upgrade process has been updated so that if it detects that the 

currently installed version cannot be stopped, it quits and leaves the currently running version of 

the McAfee Agent operational. 

14.  

Issue: 

The error log file did not “roll over,” resulting in unnecessary disk space consumption. 

(Reference: 449107, 449111, 449341, 450554, 462905) 

Note:

 This issue could consume all of a system's available disk space.

Resolution: 

The error log file now “rolls over” in the same manner as the Agent_<system name> 

log file.
