4 Schedule a client update task to keep your security software up-to-date.
5 Deploy your security software to your managed systems.
Using the Guided Configuration is not required. You can perform each of these steps manually. If you
choose to perform these steps manually, McAfee recommends that you use a similar workflow during
your configuration process. Regardless of the method you choose to configure these features, you can
continue to modify and tune your server's configuration using the Guided Configuration tool or by
navigating directly to each page from the McAfee ePO Menu.
Using the Guided Configuration to configure essential features
The Guided Configuration tool is designed to help you configure your ePolicy Orchestrator server by
directing you through pages used to configure some essential features.
Work through each step in the task below to:
• Select the security software you want to deploy to systems on your network.
• Select the systems on your network you want manage with your McAfee ePO server, and add them
to the System Tree.
• Configure a Default policy to be assigned and enforced on your managed systems.
• Schedule a product update task to ensure that your managed systems have the latest updates
installed.
• Deploy your security software to your managed systems.
You don't have to complete each step, and you can revisit any step as
often as you like. However, McAfee recommends that you use this
configuration tool like a wizard, and complete each step in sequence.
Doing so will help you get familiar with the individual interface pages
that control these features, so you can use them without the
configuration tool in the future.
