McAfee Epolicy Orchestrator 5.1

My boss who controls EVERYTHING in our department recently asked me to look at the new McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 5.1 console and to create a new Frame Package that will talk to all of the machines in our Active Directory and uninstall McAfee 8.7 and install the updated McAfee 8.8 edition. I have been successful in creating a Framepkg, but when I run it on a machine it looks like the Frame Package is working correctly but it begins to rollback the installation and says "There was an error trying to install"..

I have created a Frame Package and installed it on a machine that was within our Domain (Active Directory) and it did not have McAfee 8.7 already installed, and the Frame Package worked fine and the installation was a success, however, this is my FIRST TIME dealing with ePolicy Orchestrator and I can NOT get any help from my coworker...

ANY HELP, would be GREATLY APPRECIATED....

I've had to do this in batches. Create a client task to uninstall McAfee VSE, and a task to install McAfee VSE.

Once you do that, you have a couple of options. One is to select a node or group of nodes and then do a "run client task now" to first uninstall and then reinstall.

Another option is to create spots in your system tree where you can drop nodes. Assign a client tasks with a schedule of "run immediately" to the folders in the system tree, and then drop your nodes in the uninstall, wait a while for them to check in and run the task, then move them to the install folder.

Yet another option would be creating client tasks that apply to certain tags, and then tagging your nodes.
