Agent policy settings
The agent provides configuration pages for setting policy options that are organized into four
categories: General, Repository, Product Improvement Program and Troubleshooting.
Agent 4.5 had one policy categories: General. When upgrading the agent from version 4.5 to version 4.6
and later, McAfee‑supplied policies (for example McAfee Default and My Default) are broken into four
categories: General, Repository, Troubleshooting, and Product Improvement Program. This is not done to
user‑created policies. Previously‑existing user‑created policies are only broken into General and Repository
categories and do not receive a Troubleshooting policy category.
Before distributing a large number of agents throughout your network, consider carefully how you
want the agent to behave in the segments of your environment. Although you can configure agent
policy settings after agents are distributed, McAfee recommends setting them prior to the distribution,
to prevent unnecessary impact on your resources.
When upgrading from ePolicy Orchestrator server 4.5 to 4.6 and later, the Agent Extension is also
upgraded from 4.5 to 4.6 and later. McAfee‑supplied agent policies (McAfee Default and My Default) are
broken into four categories: General, Repository, Troubleshooting, and Product Improvement Program. Any policy
created by a user using Agent 4.5 are spilt into General and Repository categories during upgrade.
General policies
Settings available for General policies are divided into five tabs.
