Assign values to custom properties
You can specify up to four custom properties when installing the agent using command line. These
values override values set by the ePolicy Orchestrator administrator.
Custom properties are reported back to the McAfee ePO server and are displayed in the system
properties. These properties can be used to enhance custom reporting on systems or to allow custom
tagging with McAfee ePO server.
The custom properties field does not support use of double quotation marks (") with in the custom
property text. However, you can use the single quotation mark (') as an alternative. For example:
FrmInst.exe /CustomProps1="Custom Property 'quoted text' 1"
At the command line, type the string that is appropriate for your operating system:
• Windows operating systems: FrmInst.exe /CustomProps1="Custom Property 1" /
CustomProps2="Property 2" /CustomProps3="Property 3" /CustomProps4="Property 4"
• In Windows, custom property values are stored in the registry at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\ePolicy Orchestrator\Agent\CustomProps\
• UNIX‑based operating systems: msaconfig ‑CustomProps1 "Property 1" ‑CustomProps2
"Property 2" ‑CustomProps3 "Property 3" ‑CustomProps4 "Property 4"
Custom property values are stored in CustomProps.xml, an editable file located at /McAfee/cma/
scratch/.
