Deploying, updating, and managing options
Decide whether you want to preconfigure the installation package and how you want
to perform updates and deploy the product. The installation procedure may vary if you
use supporting tools to deploy, preconfigure, update, or manage VirusScan Enterprise.
Preconfiguring the installation package
Use McAfee Installation Designer 8.5 to preconfigure or customize the installation
options for VirusScan Enterprise. When preconfiguring the installation package, we
recommend including:
„ Where and how you get updates.
„ When you check for updates (the default is daily at 17:00 local time to the
computer).
„ Which policy settings should be defined.
See the McAfee Installation Designer 8.5 Product Guide for more information.
Deploying the installation package
Use ePolicy Orchestrator version 3.5 or later to push the software to client computers.
Installing and configuring the software for use with other products
When installing VirusScan Enterprise software where third-party products are installed,
or when using it with supporting products, you may need to change the installation
procedure or perform additional configuration
Tip
We recommend that before you push the software to client computers, you use
McAfee Installation Designer to replace or update the default detection definition (
DAT )
and engine files included in the installation package. This ensures that the client
computer has the most current protection at installation time. It also saves network
bandwidth by not having to retrieve the updated files after installation.
