McAfee Endpoint Security for Mac

I'm sure you found your answer already, but in case not... someone with access to the McAfee ePO web console will need to log in and generate a McAfee Agent installer for you and download it, then give it to you. It will be a zip file, that you extract, and then that will be an install.sh file. Once you have that file on a Mac, to install the agent, you run sudo sh install.sh -i. If upgrading, sudo sh install.sh -u. Normally, if you run -i, and the agent is already installed, it will detect this, and run the upgrade anyway. Obviously, if deploying via Jamf, it will run as root, so no need to use the sudo in front of the commands. Not sure how necessary the "sh" is in front of install.sh, but that is how McAfee has it documented.

Thank you @MichaelBlower Once thats done, would it just allow them to upgrade the rest of the parts via EPO or do I need to package and push those also via a Policy? Current systems Are on 10.14.6 and they want to take them to Big Sur, with the McAfee Agent and parts upgraded to Big Sur compatible versions (10.7.6 Agent)

Hey @Stubakka so, you could do it either way. You could deploy the updated products via the McAfee ePO server, or you could package and deploy via the Jamf server. In my experience in the past, deploying via ePO works really well, if the local firewall is turned off on the client. Maybe this has been fixed by now, but with the firewall on in the past, my machines would never get any of the deployments. I haven't run in to this same problem with Jamf.

As of right now, McAfee Agent is at 5.7.2, and Endpoint Security for Mac is at 10.7.6.

I deployed McAfee via Jamf by creating packages using Composer and deployed configuration Profile to allow extension and full disk access but still, I have to allow extension manually from System Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> General. Here Iattached my configuration details and scripts I used and please suggest anything missing or changes required.
