How content is managed
Content for McAfee Policy Auditor consists of benchmarks and checks. The content package
is included when the product is installed, and is placed into the ePolicy Orchestrator master
repository.
Before you can use benchmarks in audits, you must activate them in McAfee Benchmark Editor.
See the McAfee Benchmark Editor Product Guide for information about how to do this.
The master repository is updated daily by a server task that is included with the software. If you
want to update McAfee Policy Auditor on a different schedule, you can create a new server
task. You must verify that the task is enabled.
The master repository is configured when installed. However, you must ensure that proxy server
settings, if any, are configured correctly. By default, ePolicy Orchestrator uses Microsoft Internet
Explorer proxy settings.
For information about repository management, proxy settings, and server tasks, see the
ePolicy Orchestrator software documentation.
Install and uninstall the agent plug-in
Managed systems under McAfee Policy Auditor must have the McAfee Agent and the
McAfee Policy Auditor agent plug-in.
For information on installing and working with the McAfee Agent, see the ePolicy Orchestrator
documentation.
