When MCP is deployed and managed without ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO), the policy file (
MCPPolicy.opg) must be manually deployed to MCP.
Use the following steps to manually load a policy into MCP:
For Microsoft Windows:
- Copy the MCP policy file to the client system that has MCP installed.
- Find the common application data directory C:\ProgramData\.
- Open the temporary policy directory under the common application data directory:
...\McAfee\MCP\Policy\Temp\
- Make sure that the policy file is named MCPPolicy.opg and put it into the temporary directory.
After a few seconds, the policy file is loaded and is moved to the parent directory of Temp.
For macOS:
- Copy the MCP policy file (MCPPolicy.opg) to the client that has MCP installed.
- On your client, navigate to usr/local/Mcafee/mcp/policy.
- Copy MCPPolicy.opg to this location and wait a few seconds for the policy file to load.
