McAfee Issue

ryant1981

Hi I was wandering if anybody had a solution to this issue ?
I am trying to push McAfee onto a pc that is not part of the domain but it is not pushing it out from the EPO server.
Any suggestions on how I could overcome this problem ?

Your explanation it too vague.. And generally stuff here is home PC stuff, as yours is a business package that not a lot of people will probably have had experience with...

If the problem was in front of me, I would either

a) Add it to the domain.
b) install the client from the CD separately, then see if it will connect to the EPO server.. if it wont, just let it update itself from the Internet until a better solution is found..

https://community.mcafee.com/thread/29269 gives some tips. Copying the framepkg installation to the pcs and running it locally appears to be the way to go.

The user is using it in a corporate setup, in a managed environment, most likely in addition to a number of other security features, where price, ease of administration and overall security are major factors.
A lot different to the home user setup.

OP.
Do you want to manage the PC or just get an Antivirus package onto the PC?
I'd usually install Virus Scan Enterpirse standalone onto non domain machines (we dont have many)

i understand your feelings...but i bet that they all share same common alert database,same wild virus behaviour collection methods and,not lastly,they all share a room,somewhere in the back office, where a design team compiles code for next generations of 'friendly' viruses ...

its virus, virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer. The term "virus" is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability. A true virus can spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive. Viruses can increase their chances of spreading to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by another computer. After that description how can it be friendly?

the account credentials( domain or local pc user account) that you have set in epo for the pc's is this account also present on the pc not in the domain? do you have mcafee agent installed on the pc that is not in the domain? look in the server task log in epo, and you will see the failed event, and the error. it is most likely to do with account authentication on the pc not in the domain...

Ensure "File & Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" is enabled on the NIC.
If it is, try disabling Windows Firewall or any other firewall software installed on the PC
