Steps for deploying McAfee agent

You need to verify the communication between your server and system before you deploy the McAfee agent. You also have to access the default Admin on the client-side. In case the test systems are not part of the domain then you also copy the Framepkg.exe directly to the client-side. You can also execute the file locally. You have to locate one of the following directories:

C:\Program Files\McAfee\ePolicyOrchestrator\DB\Software\Current\EPOAGENT3000\Install\0409 or

C:\Program Files(x86)\McAfee\ePolicyOrchestrator\DB\Software\Current\EPOAGENT3000\Install\0409

Ensure that now you can easily ping your client system by the names. Now your server can fix the client names to its IP address. If the client system is using the active file then you may have to create an exception or you can also disable the client’s firewall temporarily.
