Hello, I'm very new to ePO and have to manage our mcafee environment (~3500 clients) in future. The thing which I don't understand most of all, is the whole updating process..
Right now, McAfee Agent 4.6.0.2292 and Agent ePO Agent Key Updater 4.6.0.1444 are installed on our clients.
When I take a look in the softwaremanager, it says there are 10 Updates available for McAfee Agent. For example:
Install - Windows (Patch 1) 4.6.0.2292
Install - Windows (Patch 2) Repost 4.6.0.2935
Install - Windows (Patch 3) 4.6.0.3122
ePO Agent Key Updater 4.6.0.1694
ePO Agent Key Updater (Patch 2) Repost 4.6.0.2935
ePO Agent Key Updater (Patch3) 4.6.0.3122
Questions:
- How should I do the update? There is a checkin and update button in the software manager...do I have to check it in into the evaluation branch and then press update? Or should I do it with a product update client task? is it the same? Or do I have to deploy patches with a deployment client task? My goal is to update 10 clients which are tagged with a test-tag first and then do the whole big update.
- What is the ePO Agent Key Updater for? Should I update it before or after the agent itself?
- Can I skip Patch 2 when I install Patch 3?
Sorry for all those question, but I really don't understand it when I read the handbook/manual.
I hope someone can help me.
