We are running McAfee EPO servers here.
The EPO servers were upgraded from version 3.6 to 4.0 recently.
PCs were moved from the 3.6 server to the 4.0 server using McAfee's tools.
We were not successful moving Mac users EPO servers via the McAfee server
tools.
I'd like to prepare for the move to Snow Leopard by installing McAfee
Security 1.0 (aka VirusScan 9.0), since VirusScan 8.6 is not compatible with
10.6
Through trial and error and speaking with support at McAfee, this is the
process followed:
1. Remove VirusScan 8.6 - (run the uninstall.command) -
2. Remove the EPO Pointer - /Library/McAfee/cma/uninstall.sh
I wrapped the first two together in a preinstall shell script for the
.pkg
3. Install the new EPO Pointer (script from the EPO server)
4. Install McAfee Security 1.0 aka McAfee VirusScan 9
I wrapped the second two together with a postinstall shell script for
that kicks off:
sudo /tmp/EpoScripts/install.sh -i
sudo installer -pkg /tmp/EpoScripts/McAfee Security for
Mac-Anti-malware-1.0-RTW-644.mpkg -target /
This has been tested and works fine. The EPO server manager and I tested
moving the software via the server, and kept getting lots of VirusScan
errors in the console - as it looks like the installer (from EPO console)
doesn't kill one of the processes also looks like we need to force a
restart if we run the process from the console (I don't like interfering
with user's work). I'd like to be able to get this to the point that we can
do all of this from the EPO console.
Has anyone else on the list had experience with McAfee EPO? Can we
collaborate?
Thanks a million.
