Installing McAfee Agent (MA) in a cloud environment can be a challenge because of the following factors:
- Active Directory (AD) might not be present.
- ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) does not support installation tasks for MA using SSH keys.
- ePO might not always connect to the client instance in another region or Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environment.
MA Deployment URL feature
The Agent Deployment URL contains an installer (McAfee Smart Installer). After ePO communication, the installer downloads and installs MA. It then deploys McAfee products to the client systems, and brings the system under ePO management.
NOTE: The Agent Deployment URL created in this way can be shared in the environment. But, the Agent Deployment URL can't be used to download Smart Installer via Shell (Linux) and PowerShell (Windows) scripts without first changing
the script. Use the following solution to make the required changes.
