Hi All

One of our clients wants us to use SCCM to deploy the FramePKG.exe to a few machines and update the McCafee Anti-Virus agent to download new updates from the DP's and not the internet. Honestly, I've never used McCafee, so i'm not quite sure how to go about in doing this. I've gathered some info from the McCafee forums in the meantime.
Has anyone done this before and has it worked?

i used to manage epo at my other job and i did this.. All you have to do is created a package with the FramePkg.exe /install=agent /S . The client will find itself and populate in epo based on your rules. Good links bellow and a script that i used before

Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

If Not oFSO.FileExists("C:\Program Files\McAfee\Common Framework\frameworkservice.exe") Then
sCmd = """\\server\xxx\xxx\xxx\Current\EPOAGENT3000\Install\0409\FRAMEPKG.EXE""" _
& " /SILENT /INSTALL=AGENT"
oShell.Run sCmd
End If

The framepkg.exe only needs to be deployed if they have an ePolicy Orchestrator server. If they have the server, and have built the framepkg.exe package for deployment (includes all the settings for the ePO server), then you should be able to deploy with a /s.

As for McAfee pulling updates from the DPs that is a setting in the ePO server. They can set up repositories on servers or desktops using a variety of methods. If you do not have an ePO server, there is no supported method from McAfee for remote configuration of the clients to my knowledge. The only way I can think of to do what you are asking without ePO is to set the install of McAfee to update on a weekly basis, and then have someone download and deploy the superdat.exe daily.

when the site is back up, this is a great place for deployment info

yeah.. i would hightly recomend using epo to manage your mcafee updated. Lots better than than sms or sccm, Configure it and leave it alone.. Great APP But if you dont have epo SMS\SCCM is the next best option

Thanks for all your input guys. You've helped me understand the process a bit better. Thanks! I'll have a chat with the Antivirus guys and get the relevant info you mentioned and take it from there. Really appreciate it. I'll be sure to let you know what the outcome is..

Thx a mil!
