The McAfee Agent and your System Tree

The McAfee Agent and your System Tree are two of the most important pieces of your managed

environment.

The agent is the liaison between all point-products and the McAfee ePO server. The System Tree is the

logical representation of your managed environment.

Agent functionality

How the McAfee Agent works, and the benefits provided by its modular design are important concepts

to understand in order to effectively configure and manage your environment.

This 5 MB executable file is not a security product on its own; instead it communicates to all the

McAfee and partner security products and passes the appropriate information to and from the McAfee

ePO server. The core agent functionality includes:

• Handling all communication to and from the McAfee ePO server and passing that data to the

endpoint products.

• Pulling all product policies from the McAfee ePO server and assigning the policy to the appropriate

products that is installed on the endpoint clients.

• Pulling all client tasks from the McAfee ePO server and passing it to the appropriate products

• Deploying all content such as anti-virus signatures, auditing checks, and engines

• Deploying all new product upgrades, new products, patches, and hotfixes

• Upgrading itself silently with no reboot required when a new agent is released

The terms McAfee Agent and agent are used interchangeably.
