Changing agent management modes

McAfee Agent operates in two modes, managed and unmanaged. If you have previously not managed

McAfee products in your network, the agent installations in your network are running in updater mode.

When to change agent management modes

Some of the more recent McAfee products that use AutoUpdate, such as VirusScan Enterprise, are

installed with the agent in updater mode.

To start managing these products with ePolicy Orchestrator, you can enable the agent that is already

on the system by changing its management mode.

Changing the existing agent on each system to managed mode saves significant network bandwidth

over deploying the agent installation package. However, existing McAfee products were probably

installed with an older version of the agent, and these agents are not automatically upgraded to the

latest version on the McAfee ePO server.

In some situations, you might want to change a system that has been managed by ePolicy

Orchestrator to updater (unmanaged) mode. Information is provided for changing from managed

mode to unmanaged mode.

Before changing the agent mode, consider the following:

• By default, FrmInst.exe is installed on the McAfee ePO server in this location: C:\Program Files

\McAfee\Common Framework.

• You should not change the agent installation folder without removing and reinstalling the agent.

Agents that you enable might be in a different folder than agents that you deploy in your network

by another method.

• Assigning sorting filters or domain names to specific System Tree segments saves time. Without

such designations, systems are placed in Lost&Found and you will have to move them from that

location.
