Solidcore Extension:

Reference Number	Related Article	Found in Version	Resolved in Version	Description
608347				Issue: The Solidcore Policy Assignments By System report displays all policies derived from the root, regardless of the SKUs enabled on the platform.
609304				Issue: You cannot export data from the Reporting, Solidcore Events page. Workaround: Use Queries (Reporting, Queries) to export event data.
607554				Issue: Solidcore policies can't be duplicated by using the Policy Details page because the OK button is disabled. Workaround: Use the Policy Catalog page to duplicate policies.
608374				Issue: When trying to enable an already enabled Solidcore Agent, the error displayed is not translated.
609911				Issue: Export of rule groups does not work in Internet Explorer when opened from the ePO server. Workaround: Use Internet Explorer from a different computer to export rule groups.
609220				Issue: Saving an Application Control policy that is a copy of the McAfee Default policy is slow. Workaround: Because Application Control policies are multi-slot policies, Technical Support recommends that you create a new blank policy and add new rules to it instead of copying and changing the McAfee Default policy.
719796				Issue: Global catalog search for Active Directory (AD) groups is not supported. Workaround: Search for a group in a specific AD server instead of using the Global Catalog. To add a specific group: Log on to the ePO console. Add the AD server with the group as a Registered Server. Search for the group by selecting the registered AD server. Make sure that the Use Global Catalog option is deselected. Add the group to a policy as a trusted group.
890978				Issue: The GTI cloud server entry is not removed from ePO after the Solidcore Extension is uninstalled.
950063				Issue: A few Strings are not properly localized in languages other than English.
939528				Issue: Systems with a large inventory fail to send inventory data to the ePO server and a corresponding entry is logged in the Server Task Log after six hours.
987715				Issue: For the Application Control Options (Windows) policy, an import of a policy from Extensions earlier than 6.2.0 causes the Inventory AEF tab to populate with its default value. Default values are not saved in the policy until you make some change and save the policy.
1050955				Issue: With ePO 5.x, GTI communication using Kerberos authentication fails when using a proxy server.
1109570				Issue: You can edit the MAC, MCC, and IM dashboards after you migrate from ePO 4.6.9 to ePO 5.1.3.
1147342				Issue: In 7.0.1, the SMS 2003 Client rule group is renamed to SCCM/SMS Client, and SMS 2003 Server rule group is renamed to SCCM/SMS Server. After you upgrade, if you save an existing policy that uses one of these rule groups, the renamed rule group is disassociated from the policy. Workaround: Search for the SCCM/SMS Client and SCCM/SMS Server rule groups and add the groups to your policy.
1224811	KB90254	7.0.0	7.0.2	Issue: GTI communication error occurs between server and client, with Application and Change Control installed

Reference Number	Related Article	Found in Version	Resolved in Version	Description

794445				Issue: Solidified batch files, when copied using another batch file, fail.
808857				Issue: A Self Approval pop-up window displays if a file is opened with the execute flag even if the file is not executed.
916640				Issue: Deny Execution is not skipped for a drive after removing the skiplist -v flag without a reboot. Workaround: A reboot is needed to make it work.
1112186				Issue: MAC 7.0.0 supports the proxy without authentication for the GTI feature on endpoints. If the proxy is set without authentication, you can use commands in the netsh winhttp context to configure proxy and tracing settings for Windows HTTP. You can run the netsh commands for winhttp manually at the netsh prompt or in scripts and batch files.
1132183				Issue: System lockup occurs when you uninstall the Endpoint Security Threat Prevention module Workaround: Add c:\windows to skiplist rule -i Ignore path passthrough attribute before you uninstall the Endpoint Security Threat Prevention module. Then after removal, remove this rule. Or, disable MAC to uninstall the Endpoint Security Threat Prevention module and enable after you uninstall Endpoint Security Threat Prevention.
1194481, 1194580				Issue: Blue screen error when MAC checks to see if a file is managed and the file header does not contain IMAGE_NT_HEADERS.
1261321		7.0.1		Issue: Windows logon process is stopped due to swin.sys.
1267968		7.0.1		Issue: Memory Protection (MP) can't be enabled in Windows 10 with secure boot.

Solidcore Extension:

Reference	Article	Found in Version	Resolved in Version	Description
608618				Issue: When you try to upload the Windows Solidcore Agent Deployment Package (~100 MB) to ePO through Microsoft Internet Explorer (Internet Explorer), the file upload times out if the network upload speed is slow. Workaround: If an error displays in Internet Explorer 6, try using Internet Explorer 7 (or later). If you encounter the error in Internet Explorer 7 or later, copy the package to a local directory on the ePO server. Next, access the ePO console on the ePO server and upload the file from the local path. This method avoids possible network delays.
607517				Issue: PDF reports have minor data display and formatting issues if more than 50,000 records are reported.
608347				Issue: The Solidcore Policy Assignments By System report displays all policies derived from the root, regardless of the SKUs enabled on the platform.
609304				Issue: It is not possible to export data from the Reporting, Solidcore Events page. Workaround: Use Queries (Reporting, Queries) to export event data.
636769				Issue: If you upgrade from ePO 5.1.0 to 5.1.1 (or later), existing Solidcore events in the Solidcore Events table are not migrated to the ePO Events table.
636352				Issue: After removing the Solidcore Extension, all Solidcore-related events are retained in the ePO table. When you view the events in the Threat Event Log, some fields might display garbage data.
607554				Issue: Solidcore policies can't be duplicated by using the Policy Details page because the OK button is disabled. Workaround: Use the Policy Catalog page to duplicate policies.
608374				Issue: When trying to enable an already enabled Solidcore Agent, the error displayed is not translated.
607908				Issue: It is not possible to export more than 50,000 records from any table or report.
608025				Issue: Reports, tasks, and policies for all SKUs are listed even if the license for that SKU is not added.
609911				Issue: Export of rule groups does not work in Internet Explorer when opened from the ePO server. Workaround: Use Internet Explorer from a different computer to export rule groups.
608753				Issue: Sometimes, using the user name field of reported events in ePO as a trusted user might not work if the client system is part of an AD domain, because the domain name reported in the events is not the full AD domain. Workaround: Use the environment variable USERDNSDOMAIN of the AD client as the domain name. Or, review the properties of the My Computer icon to identify the complete user name to specify as the trusted user.
609220				Issue: Saving an Application Control policy that is a copy of the McAfee Default policy is slow. Workaround: Because Application Control policies are multi-slot policies, Technical Support recommends that you create a new blank policy and add new rules to it instead of copying and changing the McAfee Default policy.
607950				Issue: User-defined system variables in policies are resolved at the endpoint only after the endpoint is restarted.
719796				Issue: Global catalog search for Active Directory (AD) groups is not supported. Workaround: Search for a group in a specific AD server instead of using the Global Catalog. To add a specific group: Log on to the ePO 4.x console. Add the AD server with the group as a Registered Server. Search for the group by selecting the registered AD server. Make sure that the Use Global Catalog option is deselected. Add the group to a policy as a trusted group.
722045				Issue: When you add new columns, such as Solidcore Status and Solidification Status, for an endpoint by clicking Actions, Choose columns, Non Compliant Solidcore Agent, it might not display values for all endpoints. This issue happens because the Non Compliant Solidcore Agent section includes only non-compliant agent properties. Workaround: When you add new columns for an endpoint, click Actions, Choose columns, Solidcore Client Properties instead of Actions, Choose columns, Non Compliant Solidcore Agent.
812003				Issue: The Self Approval page displays a link for .MSI based applications, which displays an empty list when drilling down.
890978				Issue: The GTI cloud server entry is not removed from ePO after the Solidcore Extension is uninstalled.
926122				Issue: File Deviation details are missing in an exported file from the Image Deviation page.
950063				Issue: A few Strings are not properly localized in languages other than English.
1033281				Issue: Upgrade to Solidcore Extension 6.2.0 might fail immediately after extension restart while performing an upgrade from a version older than 6.1.2.
939528				Issue: Systems with a large inventory fail to send inventory data to the ePO server and a corresponding entry is logged in the Server Task Log after 6 hours.
987715				Issue: For the Application Control Options (Windows) policy, an import of a policy from Extensions earlier than 6.2.0 causes the Inventory AEF tab to populate with its default value. Default values are not saved in the policy until you make some change and save the policy.
1043052				Issue: You can’t upgrade Solidcore help extension from previous versions to 6.2. Workaround: Uninstall the old help extension and install the new one.
1050955				Issue: With ePO 5.x, GTI communication using Kerberos authentication fails when using a proxy server.
1109570				Issue: The MAC, MCC, and IM dashboards are editable after migration from ePO 4.6.9 to ePO 5.1.3.
1104452	KB86184			Issue: There are multiple alerts for the automatic response "Bad Binary has been detected in Enterprise" after upgrading to Solidcore Extension 7.0.x.
1148388				Issue: Advanced Filters on the Solidcore Events page are not working. Workaround: Click the Advanced Filters link. From left pane, select the Available Property for the filter (Example: System Name). Type the Value for the selected property. Click the drop-down list for comparison and change the selection from Equals to Not Equals and then change it back to Equals. Click Update Filter. NOTE: These steps have to be performed for each of the filter criteria being used. Ensure that the steps are performed in the order listed. Deviation results in the filter not saving.
	KB84651	All Versions	8.0.0.182	Issue: Upgrading the extension for Application Control 6.2.0 and later takes a long time to complete
1104452	KB86184	7.0.0		Issue: Multiple alerts for the automatic response "Bad Binary has been detected in Enterprise" after upgrading to Solidcore Extension 7.0.x

	KB79201			Issue: For JAR files, the Java interpreter can run a JAR file from any extension. Renaming a valid JAR file to a file with a different extension still allows it to be executed. Workaround: See the Knowledge Base article for details.
801531				Issue: If Driver Verifier (verifier.exe) is enabled, MAC / MCC might not function as expected.
608418				Issue: The Original Username reported in events is the same as the Username.
600805				Issue: While opening a write-protected network share in File Explorer, a few deny-write errors are observed.
603747				Issue: The trusted, solidified, and write-protect features do not work correctly for folder-mounted volumes. Workaround: Contact Technical Support for assistance if the setup uses folder-mounted volumes.
608036				Issue: Mapped drive names cannot be used in commands issued by remote users/ePO.
595570 595025 595511 595615 597243 598406 595043 607434 607899 611229				Issue: The following applications are incompatible with the Solidcore Agent for Windows. Contact Technical Support for further assistance. Panda Titanium Antivirus 2005 Spyware Doctor BlackIce Trojan Hunter BitDefender BufferZone Twister Anti-Trojan Virus 2005 Trend Micro OfficeScan 8.0, Trend Micro Antivirus 2008 Double-Take Cisco Security Agent
594579				Issue: Unsolidified scripts cannot be copied using the MS-DOS command prompt on a solidified system. Any read access to unsolidified scripts by a script interpreter configured for that script is denied, which generates unauthorized execution events. To avoid these problems, perform the file operation using Windows Explorer.
608647				Issue: On 64-bit systems, multiple events might get generated when an unauthorized binary file is executed. The Windows operating system tries to run the binary multiple times by using a reduced set of attributes until final failure.
608745				Issue: Files that are read-protected by the user (using the 'sadmin read-protect' command) cannot be solidified.
643688				Issue: If you try an ActiveX installation before enabling the ActiveX feature and retry the installation after enabling the ActiveX feature, ActiveX might not get installed properly. Workaround: If the ActiveX installation fails, delete all files in the \windows\downloaded program files directory on the endpoint, and remove all .cab files in the temporary Internet files. Then, install the ActiveX control on the endpoint.
602194				Issue: The package control feature is not able to stop the installation of some applications, such as Gvim and Winrar.
616147				Issue: For standalone Solidcore Agent installation (in other words, installation not done via ePO) on endpoints where Oracle is installed, you must run finetune.bat manually at the endpoints to apply Oracle-specific rules.
599348			Will not fix	Issue: On viewing the properties of a file on the local drive, deny-write and deny-exec events are generated for the solidified and unsolidified files, respectively.
601126				Issue: When copying solidified files to a rewritable CD, although the files are copied successfully, deny-write errors are logged.
601427				Issue: On 64-bit platforms, Enum or Performance in sub keys is bypassed from Solidcore Agent protection. Thus, when you delete a write-protected registry key with Enum or Performance in sub keys, you might get a partial completion status.
616089				Issue: In the output of the sadmin diag command on the Spanish locale, read 'actualizadores agregar' as 'updaters add'. For example, the following output: * actualizadores agregar -t DIAG: cmd.exe -p explorer.exe ""cmd.exe"" Should be read as: * updaters add -t DIAG: cmd.exe -p explorer.exe ""cmd.exe""
600748				Issue: Multiple deny write events can get generated for a single deny write action. For example, on deletion of a file using Windows Explorer, up to 8 file deletion events are reported. When the application denies deletion of a file, Windows Explorer tries multiple methods to delete the file, resulting in an event for each attempt.
695246				Issue: Although the Solidcore NX protection is based on system DEP, it is possible that some applications work with system DEP but not with Solidcore NX. In such cases, if processes are added to the Solidcore NX bypass list, the system DEP protection is enabled for the processes.
720663				Issue: Editing the Updater Label for an existing trusted publisher in an Application Control policy fails. Although the label changes in the ePO console, the change is not reflected on the endpoints.
713989				Issue: If Application Control and Spector are installed on an endpoint and MP-CASP is enabled, Internet Explorer crashes.
652602				Issue: If you disable the deny-exec-exes feature on any Windows (64-bit) operating system, change the extension of an exe to .sys, and try to run the .sys file, execution of the .sys file is prevented. Or, if you change the file extension to dll, you can run the file even if the deny-exex-dlls feature is enabled.
607574				Issue: On opening a network share (for systems running Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 2008), deny-write and deny-exec events are generated for the binary files present on the network share. These events occur because Windows Explorer tries to fetch the icons for the files stored on the network share.
768708				Issue: You are unable to set the flag fs-passthru 'p' and the flag vasr forced reloc 'v' together with the extra information flag 'o' in the attr command.
770362				Issue: You are unable to set more than one dll to bypass from VASR forced reloc.
794445				Issue: Solidified batch files, when copied using another batch file, fail.
803731				Issue: With network tracking disabled, Self Approval functionality does not work for network shares.
803948				Issue: Deny-Exec on a Script file is reported if Network tracking is disabled on a 64-bit architecture.
808857				Issue: A Self Approval pop-up displays if a file is opened with the execute flag even if the file is not executed.
808964				Issue: An Auth rule for a process making file changes does not get added correctly if allowed through Self Approval.
812964				Issue: If you remove the Updater flag for a certificate rule, the certificate is still listed as an Updater on the endpoint.
816108				Issue: A file, authorized by checksum, is denied for execution when run from a network share.
810072				Issue: While running a 16-bit executable with Self Approval enabled, the file type is listing as script.
819876				Issue: A process that does not work as an Updater is configured as an Updater through auth by checksum. Workaround: Configure the process as an Updater by name.
888634				Issue: An unclean uninstallation of Adobe Flash Player occurs when pkg-ctrl-allow-uninstall is enabled. Workaround: sadmin updaters add "C: \WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil32_11_6_602_180_ActiveX.exe".
888632				Issue: A repair of .NET 3.5 fails. Workaround: Add the below Updater rules: C: \WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe C: \WINDOWS\syswow64\msiexec.exe
885091	KB78642			Issue: You are unable to install Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate via Updater. Workaround: See the Knowledge Base article for details.
887965				Issue: Uninstallation of applications is not blocked even if the pkg-ctrl-allow-uninstallation feature is disabled. Workaround: Run the sadmin clg command after each installation of an application to block the removal. This command clears out all cached GUIDs from the system.
888878				Issue: Multiple package control prevention events are seen while uninstalling and repairing Visual Studio 2010. Workaround: Add "\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin" to trusted path: "sadmin trusted -u "\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin".
884396				Issue: You are unable to install Adobe Flash Player 11 when the pkg-ctrl-bypass feature is enabled. Workaround: sadmin updaters add InstallAX_11_6_602_180.exe.
883381				Issue: Self Approval pop-ups for a user session are displayed on a console session instead of a user session. Workaround: Run the following Solidcore commands from the command line: sc config AeLookupSvc type= own sadmin updaters add -l aelupsvc.dll svchost.ex
915562	KB79517			Issue: McAfee Solidifer upgrade from 6.1.1 to 6.1.2 fails in Observe mode. Workaround: See the Knowledge Base article for details.
910080				Issue: Package Control, if an application has ctor.dll in its uninstall string, another application using ctor.dll, is not installed when pkg-ctrl-allow-uninstall is disabled. Workaround: As a workaround for mode 1 of package control, the user can make the ctor.dll an Updater using the complete path. Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\InstallShield\Professional\RunTime\11\50\Intel32\ctor.dll. For Package Control modes, see PD24669.
916640				Issue: Deny Execution is not skipped for a drive after removing the skiplist -v flag without a reboot. Workaround: A reboot is required to make it work.
