4 For port blocking rules, if the local rule differs from the default rule only in its inclusions,
the rule is placed in a separate list of rules to be merged with the equivalent VirusScan
Enterprise 8.8 rules.
5 The whitelist for each of the port rules from Step 4 is merged with the whitelist of the
equivalent VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i rule. A newly formed rule is written to the registry for
use by VirusScan Enterprise 8.8.
6 From Step 3, the modified default rules are converted to the new VirusScan Enterprise 8.8
rule format and written to the registry. These preserved rules are included in the
user-defined rules.
NOTE: The decision to combine the whitelists of the port blocking rules that have had only
their whitelist modified is based on the assumption that the user has specific software that
they do not want blocked by the default port blocking rule.
Options for preconfiguring, deploying, updating,
and managing VirusScan Enterprise
Decide whether you want to preconfigure the installation package and how you want to update
and deploy the product. The installation procedure varies if you use supporting tools to
preconfigure, deploy, update, or manage VirusScan Enterprise.
Preconfigure the installation package
Use McAfee Installation Designer 8.8 to preconfigure or customize the installation options for
VirusScan Enterprise 8.8. When preconfiguring the installation package, McAfee recommends
that you include the following information:
• Where and how you get updates.
• When you check for updates (the default is daily at 17:00 local time to the computer).
• Which policy settings should be defined.
See the
McAfee Installation Designer 8.8 Product Guide
for more information.
Deploy the installation package
Use ePolicy Orchestrator version 4.0, 4.5, or 4.6 to push the software to client computers.
TIP: Before pushing the software to client computers, use McAfee Installation Designer 8.8 to
replace or update the DAT and engine files included in the installation package. This ensures
that the client computer has the most current protection at installation time, and saves network
bandwidth.
Install and configure the software for use with other products
When installing VirusScan Enterprise software where third-party products are installed, or when
using it with supporting products, you might need to change the installation procedure or
perform additional configuration. For example, if you are using the Setup utility to install the
VirusScan Enterprise software where Windows 2003 with Terminal Services is installed, the
installation stops and prompts you to install the program files using the Windows Add/Remove
Programs utility.
NOTE: This installation method is not required if you are using ePolicy Orchestrator to deploy
VirusScan Enterprise.
