McAfee Anti-Virus EPO Server
Hi,
I have 190 computers in my organisation. I discovered that current EPO agent on my client computers not connecting to my EPO server.
I have been manually uninstall and install the EPO agent on the client computers one by one.
frminstal /forceinstall , after that run framepkg.exe
Is taking too much time and I still have 30 computers to complete.
Is there a faster way that I could uninstall & install EPO agent ?

I'm not too familiar with EPO myself, but can't you just send agent install and select force install over existing version.
Could try PSEXEC from the PSTOOLS suite. create a batch file with the frminstal /forceinstall and to then run the framepkg from a shared location and then call the batch file via psexec
psexec \\clientname -c epo.bat
epo.bat will have something like
"c:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework\frminst.exe" /forceuninstall
sleep 240
x:\shared\framepkg.exe /install=agent /silent
psexec \\clientname -c epo.bat
epo.bat will have something like
"c:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework\frminst.exe" /forceuninstall
sleep 240
x:\shared\framepkg.exe /install=agent /silent

Hi Antony,
I create a bat file. But I encounter error when I call the batch file via psexec.

You need to put in the patch to the batch file eg if it is on the root of C: of the machine you are running psexec from then you would type
psexec \\clientname -c c:\epo.bat
btw I have no idea if the batch coding is correct above, my coding skills are nil but it is there to give you a clue as to what you might need.

"You need to put in the patch to the batch file " should read "you need to put in the path to the batch file"
Apologies.
Apologies.
Sorry , just noticed the attachment.
Depending on your version it might be C:\program files\mcafee\Common etc
Basically do a search for the file and copy the path to it into the batch file.

Hi Antony,
After reinstall the agent, is there a way that could active the auto update? can it be incorporate into the batch ?

Hi Antony,
Sorry, After reinstall the agent, is there a way that could activate the auto update? can this be on the same batch file, epo.bat ?

Hi, it works. Great!
I am thinking of putting the EPO.bat on the server, so that when my user login, it activate the installation. May I use the same EPO.bat ?

No reason why not as far as I can see. Glad you have got it sorted.
