McAfee VSE is in an unstable state. On-acess scan and Acess Protection are disabled
We have 400 Windows server 2003 machines within a container in ePO. The policy is set so that Acess protection is enabled as well as on-access scan. We found that the servers when you do a remote desktop into them on-acess scan and access protection are disabled. When we try to enable them it would not allow us to. We've come to the conclusion that VSE is in a broken state. We cannot do anything from EPO to administer it and we are having a bunch of error message when trying to uninstall it locally from the machine. We've contacted McAfee support and they mentioned that we need to uninstall and reinstall and gave us a ripper tool to do so. The only problem is we would have to manually re-install McAfee for 400 machines. Is there a simpler process to resolve this from an EPO standpoint?

Hello btan,
I like the first method you had mentioned, but I am not familiar with the process even after reading about it. Is there a video on this? I think that would help me more. Or maybe a reference with plenty of screenshot examples? I have some questions about it. Please see below.

No such video to my best knowledge. Will be clearer if you can see the cmd content.
There are three main folder to point to and also the common network share server ip address.
https://github.com/LevonBecker/mcafee_clients/blob/master/McAfee-Clients.cmd
In that shared folder, just need to make the parent folder created store this cmd as well as its subscripts
.. See those there..you can manually (instead of clone) create the same structure under your main folder containing the cmd files. See all the structure in
https://github.com/LevonBecker/mcafee_clients/find/master?q=
For the admin right, when you run the cmd the account login tends to be your user which will not be able to run as lesser privileges in OS. So need to run in admin
..e.g. From GPO , has something like in the Computer Config -> Start up Scripts GPO to run the cmd and have it installed by the 'System' account. See the below

I'd really like to get your method going because it sounds like a savior solution, and less stress. However, I am really confused by the github method. Is there another article (not using github) on this? Or maybe, some screenshots about this?
At the moment, seems like VSE is in a broken state and only happening to Windows Server 2003 Servers.
