McAfee ePO deployment

Hi,

Our workstations have had McAfee 8.0 installed for a few years. They were all configured when they were imaged initially. An agent is installed on each workstation too, but there has been no ePO server.
I am deploying a server now. I have detected all the workstations by polling Active Directory. How do I get the agents to talk to the new server? Do I need to re-deploy the agent? Any other tips?

Thanks Pete. It's version 3.5 I am using. How do I know if the new agent has installed over the old one?
I can see from server.log that the Agent install is failing with error code 1326. I have not installed the hotfixes and updates yet, so his is my next step. I'll report back on the [rogress
ThanQ
Nice guide thankyou, just as a heads up, the "THEN GOTO" isn't supported in a batch file, as far as I understand, you can just use "GOTO":
 
:EPO4
IF EXIST C:\EPO4 GOTO EOF
MD c:\EPO4
xcopy \\ePO\agent\framepkg.exe c:\EPO4
cd c:\EPO4
framepkg.exe /FORCEINSTALL /INSTALL=AGENT /SILENT
:EOF
