So I just started playing around in Patch Management. I see we have several computers with McAfee Endpoint Protection that are "Up to date" & lots that are not. Delving deeper, the "Up to date" ones are unmanaged/OLD machines not in use & the mass of "Unknown" are all McAfee Endpoint Security. Is there ANY good reason why McAfee Endpoint Security is NOT in Patch Management seeing it's been since OS 10.12.x?

Patch Management - McAfee Endpoint Security vs Protection

Well, that's really strange then. I would maybe open a case with Jamf about it, because I can't imagine why McAfee Endpoint Security wouldn't be showing up for you. Something doesn't sound right about that.
We also aren't on anything higher than 10.2.3 because of the same reason - a mix of OSes.
Also, this is from a beta cloud instance. It's showing up for me there. Is your Jamf Pro cloud or local?
+24@c.archibald What Jamf Pro version are you running? I'm still on a late 9.x release, not even on 10, and I see "McAfee Endpoint Security for Mac" in the Patch Management reporting section. It even lists the latest release as 10.5.0, issued on 6/12/18, which we are NOT on yet (Hence why Patch Management needs to let us choose what is considered "current", but I digress)
Point is, I don't see a "Protection" title like you describe. I'm wondering if your Jamf Pro server just hasn't gotten new definitions for some reason? Because it should definitely be there.
+11Hello @c.archibald and @mm2270 :
Is McAfee Endpoint Protection a replacement for Endpoint Security or an entirely different app?
Thanks!
+24@robinsonjo It's the other way around. it used to be called McAfee Endpoint Protection and got renamed several years back to McAfee Endpoint Security. Technically you could say it's a different application, but "Security" replaced "Protection" to do essentially the same thing on the client.

+7We are on JAMF Pro 10.5, about to upgrade to 10.6. I just started playing with Patch Management & MES is NOT listed. We're running MES 10.2.3 BECAUSE we are running a mix of 10.12 & 10.13 plus 2 test 10.14 systems. Only version that I know of from some quick research that works on 10.12 & 10.13+.
+7And on MY machine only, DLP does not load correctly. It is installed, takes commands, & does not load as normal. So I'm getting flagged for it, but not loose access type of flag.

+7Here's what I found:
Then after finding there was a "No category Assigned" section, I did find MES.
Of course it says 100% out of date for 10.5.0. But that part is all out of our hands even though we have some influence. We're on 10.2.3 because of my suggestion.
