Install Endpoint Security 10.7.x using McAfee ePO 5.10.x or 5.9.x

You can use a deployment task in McAfee ePO 5.10.x or 5.9.x to install Endpoint Security 10.7.x on your endpoints.

Deployment tasks can be set up as continuous (for endpoints in specific groups or with specific tags) or fixed (for a static set of endpoints).

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 endpoint users have permission to access the user temp folder (KB85033).
   • Detect and allow trusted third-party software to make sure that they work with Endpoint Security by running McAfee SysPrep (KB89860).
   • Provide accurate reputation values to McAfee Global Threat Intelligence by running McAfee GetClean (KB73044).
2. Install product extensions and installation packages on McAfee ePO.
3. Update content files on McAfee ePO.
4. Deploy product software to endpoints.
5. After the installation:
   • 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 policy settings for your environment, as needed.
