Install McAfee Endpoint Security 10.7.x on self-managed endpoints

Install McAfee Endpoint Security 10.7.x on endpoints that aren't managed by a network management platform.

1. Before the installation:
   • Verify that all endpoints meet the minimum requirements (KB82761).
   • Verify that you're aware of compatibility requirements for other installed products.
   • On endpoints running Microsoft Windows 10 October 2018 Update or later, verify that the case-sensitivity attribute is disabled for folders in your source and target installation paths and \Windows\System32\drivers.
   • Verify that you have permission to access the user temp folder (KB85033).
   • Provide accurate reputation values to McAfee Global Threat Intelligence by running McAfee GetClean (KB73044).
   • Detect and allow trusted third-party software to make sure that they work with Endpoint Security by running McAfee SysPrep (KB89860).
     Note: Best practice: Use the latest version of the McAfee SysPrep utility when upgrading from version 10.5.3 or earlier, or when new software or policy configurations are used in software metering, software monitoring, or rights management. Check with technical support for the latest version of McAfee SysPrep.
2. Run product installer on endpoint.
3. After the installation:
   • Manually update your endpoint with the latest version of the content files required by Endpoint Security for AMCore, Exploit Prevention, and Adaptive Threat Protection.
   • Disable the Windows firewall to avoid conflicts with McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention rules.
   • If third-party applications aren't working correctly after you install McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention, and you didn't preconfigure custom Firewall rules, temporarily enable Adaptive Mode.
   • Configure your settings as needed.
