Anyone else using ePolicy Orchestrator 4 here?

Thanks
 
Hi

Good to here from someone.

Yes seems Epo seems quite good, much better now its web based.

Just a word of warning. I found moving some low spec systems to 8.5 caused quite a slow down, 8.5 is definatly more resource hungry nit sure about 8.7 though.

Im running 8.7 on about 4 machines just for testing but so far so good. Although you cannot do a remote scan on machines lower than 8.7.

Do you import your structure from Active Directory or use your own manageable groups?
 
Hi Evo,

Good to hear. I may wait to patch 2 for 8.7 then take the plunge. Manly 8.5 here with the 3.6 Agent. Are you both running the 4.0 agent?

Not sure if you get this but I have some machines reporting on the Dashboard as Blank under Product version and Dat version. This is fixed by finding the machine and re-installing Virusscan and the Agent. Just wondered if im not the only one having to do this so some machines.

Also a cool tool is the McAfee Virtual Technician, it can fix some AV problems without you having to do a re-install.

McAfee Virtual Technician. McAfee Virtual Technician will scan your system to ensure that your McAfee products are installed correctly. This tool will identify possible problems, and help you resolve problems detected during this check-up process.

Sorry about all the questions.

I also look after some XP Embedded systems. I noticed McAfee doesnt support this. Anyone else had this problem to overcome? Most the time it runs ok but can fall over and use up much of the system resources.
 
ahh how useful lol

Right, Ive just started a new job and the company in question use Mcafee EPO 4. Now Im used to Sophos. Could someone explain to me how to roll out VSE 8.7?

Ive managed to get the PC to show up under Systems and install the agent. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to deploy VSE to that station

Thanks

No problem, will also explain more tomorrow. Epo is simple but can also become a lot my complex if looking after many machines with different polices and McAfee applications like Groupshield etc..
