ePO Reporting

[brendangriffin]

Hi,

This is probably a really dumb question but I am new to ePO. I have installed and setup ePO 2.5 and deployed the agent successfulyy but I cannot work out how to use the reporting features of the product. I have no reporting menu or anything.

Thanks in advance

Question: What DB did you use? SQL7 or MSDE? Was it installed on the same machine (MSDE or SQL7) or a different one (SQL7)?

Hi,

The database I use is the MSDE that was provided with ePO. It is installed on the same machine as ePO.

Brendan,

First of all, I would recommend moving the database to a separate SQL 7.0 server if at all possible. I ran the database on the same server and experienced some performance issues.

Have you added the database to the ePO databases list in the ePO reports section of the tree?

Since it's installed on the same machine, just click on "ePO Reports" and login to the database. Then just browse around the sample reports. It would help if you have the Admin Guide handy since this has some explanations to the reports.

Thanks, I have another question, assuming I like to put dat files on my ftp server and redirect users to go to my network share and download the dats file. I just need to download the sdatxxx.exe for users who uses virusscan 4.5.1 and netshield 4.0.3. What file path do I need to put, do I //domain/sharedfolder/sdatxxx.exe as the path name? Will it work in this case?

Hi

I would suggest that you mirror the McAfee FTP site. Dont use SDAT since your VS 4.5.1 can handle incremental updates. Upgrade your NetShield to 4.5 to have them update incrementally.
This would save you a lot of network traffic.

The path for your internal FTP could be the same as McAfee's
FTP.*.*/virusdefs/4.x with your FTP name in front of it.

You have the mirror function in VS 4.5.1 but you could use a script to do it aswell.

Good luck
