I finally decided to make use of ePO4 in order to manage DAT file updates on our PCs. As this was a new install I was able to put a fresh copy of v4 (patch 2) on a Windows Server 2003 R2.

I then tested a roll-out to small group of XP SP2 machines. All went well, updates were happening normally and the Agents were reporting in. So, I rolled it out to the rest of the Company.

Out of 91 machines, 86 are functioning normally. Hoever, I have five that continually show up as non-compliant and refuse to report in. All but one of these is running XP SP2 with ePO Agent 4.0.0.1421.

Intriguingly, when I check each of these machines, the DAT updates are taking place normally.

Naturally, from reading various articles I became aware that the AgentGUID could have a bearing (specifically if a machine has been cloned) and although this wasn't the case for each one, I tried deleting the entry in the Registry. Even this has not worked. They are all running ViruScan v8.7.

Has anybody got any ideas?


Thanks
 
I had a similar issue with some VM macines I was testing. They were clones of original machines connecting to a clone of our EPO server in a test network.

The way I managed to get them to talk back to the EPO server was to delete the following keys in the REG key:

HKLM\Software\Network Associates\ePolicy Orchestrator\Agent

Delete the following:

AgentGUID
IPAddress
MacAddress

Then you will need to restart the McAfee Framework service on the affected machine.

Run the C:\Program Files\McAfee\Common Framework\cmdAgent.exe with /s and click send props, this will test the comms between the EPO server and the workstation.

Hope it helps

Simon.
