McAfee ePO 4.5 and IIS?

I'm upgrading from ePO 4.0 to 4.5. What McAfee calls "McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 4.5.0 Server" service is really Apache, AFAICT.

If I stop the WWW Publishing Service (thereby taking Outlook Web Access offline), I can start the ePO service and my VirusScan clients will communicate with the server (McAfee functions normally). But it is not acceptable for my users not to be able to access OWA. So, I stop the ePO services, reset IIS, and OWA works again, but no ePO.

I would imagine that if I could change the ports that ePO uses to communicate with the agents, I could run both IIS and ePO on the same server without conflict. But this is not easily configurable, and McAfee support has been less forthcoming than I would like.

Anyone know how to make ePO and IIS play nicely together?

Thanks.

I was always fortunate enough to have a separate server set aside for all of my security applications and IIS was something that was always disabled.
Is there any way for you to re-arrange the applications on your servers to allow that?
(Not what you asked, I know).

That might be an acceptable workaround if I were operating in a multiple-server environment. :)
Well, there is that!

Standby to hear something from 'legalsrl' - he is a full-time partner with a company that does nothing but McAfee deployments & service.
btw - I have nothing further to add, so please click on the "Request Attention" link in your original post and ask the Moderators to send out an 'Expert Alert'.
Doing so will notify the higher ranking Experts in both these Zones that you need extra attention.

I would also ask them to add "Server Antivirus" and "Enterprise Antivirus" Zones.

younghv, will do when I have a chance later or tomorrow. Thank you for your input! :)
