Release Notes for McAfee Agent 4.0.0 Patch 2 (Windows)
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>
Note:
Policies are stored in the server.xml file.
The following steps illustrate how to create a server.xml file:
1. Configure the policies on an ePolicy Orchestrator server.
2. Enforce the policies on a selected client. The client’s server.xml file now includes the user-selected
policies. The server.xml can be found on the client at Documents and Settings\All Users
\Application Data\McAfee\Common Framework.
3. Copy the new server.xml file from the client to a shared location.
Installing the agent and specifying the log folder
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>
Note:
The
/logdir
parameter can be appended to other installation commands.
Installing the agent with user-selected site information and user-selected keys
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:
1. Export the Sitelist file:
a. Select Software | Master Repository.
b. Click Export Sitelist.
c. Save the file to a new location.
2. Export the security keys:
a. Select Configuration | Server Settings | Security Keys, and click Edit.
b. Select Master Agent-server secure communication key, and click Export.
c. Save the files to the same location as the Sitelist file.
Installing the agent by force
Use this command to delete the currently installed agent and force install a different agent only when:
●
Downgrading to an earlier version of the agent.
●
Changing the names of the folders that contain the agent.
●
Restoring the agent’s settings to a default state.
