Policy enforcement reinstalls the McAfee Product Improvement Program (MPIP) 1.3 after uninstall when MPIP settings are enabled in ePO

Technical Articles ID: KB83120
Last Modified: 6/14/2021

Environment

McAfee Agent (MA) 5.x
McAfee Product Improvement Program (MPIP) 1.3

NOTE: MPIP was formerly known as Telemetry.

Summary

When MPIP 1.3 is removed from a client system, it will be reinstalled at the next policy enforcement interval, if:

The MA policy for MPIP is enabled,
The Server Install option is enabled
The MA client version is 5.0 or later.

This behavior is expected. The change was implemented in McAfee Agent 5.0. In the above scenario, the ePO administrator has chosen to use MPIP; so, the client version is based on the policy settings.

Affected Products

McAfee Agent 5.6.x
Product Improvement Program
