ESConfigTool command-line options Use these options with the ESConfigTool utility to create a file of preconfigured settings that you can import during installation of Endpoint Security. Open a Command Prompt window, then run the ESConfigTool command using the appropriate command-line options. Options are not case-sensitive. Note: The access protection rule Unauthorized execution of EsConfigTool blocks the execution of EsConfigTool. Administrators can disable the rule and run EsConfigtool when needed and re-enable the rule when complete. Example ESConfigTool.exe /export C:\ENS\preconfigured.policy /module TP FW /unlock<password> Exports settings for Threat Prevention and Firewall to the file C:\ENS\preconfigured.policy. Basic options ESConfigTool.exe /export <file_name> [/module <TP|FW|WC|ESP> ] /unlock <password> ] [/plaintext ] ESConfigTool.exe /import <filename> [/module <TP|FW|WC|ESP> ] /unlock <password> [/policyname <name> ] Unlock password is required to export and import policies if the user interface is locked. Option Definition /export <file_path_and_name> Saves settings to a file with the specified name and location. Example: /export C:\My Programs\Endpoint\preconfigured.policy Exports settings to the file preconfigured.policy in the C:\My Programs\Endpoint folder. Note: Save this file to a folder that is not protected by McAfee. The folder containing ESConfigTool is protected, so the export location should be a different, writable location. /import <file_path_and_name> Imports the settings from the specified file name. The file must be encrypted. /module <TP|FW|WC|ESP> Specifies which product module settings to export. TP — Threat Prevention FW — Firewall WC — Web Control ESP — Resources shared by product modules. Example: /module TP FW WC ESP Exports settings for all product modules. /unlock <password> Sets the password for unlocking the client UI. Note: It is recommended that you lock the client interface with a password to avoid unauthorized access and configuration of policies. /plaintext Specifies descriptive comments in human-readable format.
