- | 3.0.0 | MA 5.0.5 With DXL 3.1.0 and later |
Issue: MAR occasionally experiences client installation failures because the time required to disconnect from the DXL API causes a timeout. Cause: The DXL API takes too long to disconnect because the McAfee Agent message bus times out while it stops. Workaround: MAR 2.0 client installations work correctly as long as there are no outstanding MAR requests for data. If there are outstanding MAR data requests, try again when there are no outstanding MAR data requests and it succeeds. |
| 1156706 | - | 3.0.0 | 3.0.1 | Issue: When VirusScan Enterprise Common Maximum Protection is set to Block, DXL C++ Client installation fails. Explanation: The DXL Client is written in C++ and uses the VC++ redistributables. The DXL C++ Client Installer checks whether the VC++ packages are installed on the system and, if not, installs them. The VC++ Installer tries to create the AUTORUN Registry key to ensure it is restarted after a reboot. When Common Maximum Protection is set to Block, the Installer is blocked from installing the VC++ redistributables, and the DXL C++ Client installation fails. Workaround: When Common Maximum Protection is set to Block, you need to add the following two file names to the Exclusion List: MICROSOFTVISUALC++2012REDISTPACKAGEX86.EXE MICROSOFTVISUALC++2012REDISTPACKAGEX64.EXE |
| 1263569 | - | EPR | - | Issue: The Endpoint Product Removal (EPR) tool does not remove all versions of Data Exchange Layer. The EPR tool is a utility customers might use to uninstall all McAfee endpoint products. Because the tool might not fully remove all components and registry items related to a product, customers might experience install or upgrade issues after using the EPR tool. These issues are possible if references to their product or the components they use were not removed, for example, VSCore. |
| 1260610 | - | 5.0 | - | Issue: When you install DXL on macOS systems, the installer does not detect if a newer version of DXL is installed. The older version is installed even if there is a newer version present. This issue occurs on all versions of DXL that support macOS. |
| 1232934 | KB90521 | 4.1 | - | Issue: When you try to install a DXL Broker on an Oracle VM Server, the installation fails and the following error displays at the Installer Setup:
Loading Xen Virtualization modules...
modprobe: can't load module xen-acpi-processor (kernel/drivers/xen/xen-acpi-proc - ssor.ko): No such device modprobe can't load module xen-pciback (kernel/drivers/xen/xen-pciback/xen-pcib ck.ko): No such device Resolution: Engineering is investigating this emerging issue, and it will be resolved in a future product release or hotfix. To subscribe for updates to this issue, see the related article. |
| 1205832 | KB89839 | 4.0 | n/a | Issue: The DXL client installer for Microsoft Windows might fail if a policy is enforced during a DXL install or upgrade. Key error details found in the MSI log: Error 0xFFFFFFFF:
Process returned non-zero return code : (null) Key error details found in the VSCore log, ... - AAC is not installed. err=170
... - ERROR! Failed to create AAC Control. err=170 Cause: This issue occurs when a product tries to update the AAC policy, but AAC is disabled because of a VSCore upgrade. Resolution: To recover the system, press and hold the power button to force a hard restart. Correct behavior is the system restarts normally and continues to install DXL. See the related article for details. |
| 1236251 | KB90036 | 4.1 | n/a | Issue: The DXL platform.zip fails to check in to ePO. Cause: The platform.zip size has increased to 269 MB because the largest packages were added to address the Spectre and Meltdown CVEs. Resolution: Edit the \Server\conf\epo\epo.properties file, change the File.upload.limit size to 300. To make the change active, restart the ePO services. |
| 1189148 | KB89090 | 3.1.0 | n/a | Issue: Data Exchange Layer Brokers and Clients require equivalent or later Extension versions to function correctly. Resolution: Install or upgrade to the equivalent or later version of all DXL Extensions. See the related article for details. |
| - | - | DXL 3.0.1 Hotfix 2 And DXL 3.0.0 Hotfix 4 |
n/a | Issue: Uninstallation of DXL Windows client versions older than DXL 3.0.1 Hotfix 2 and DXL 3.0.0 Hotfix 4 fails in the following scenarios. The failure occurs when only the DXL client and McAfee Agent 5.0.5 are installed on the system:
Resolution: There are two ways to resolve this issue:
|
| 1143741 | - | 3.0.0 | n/a | Issue: When you use Internet Explorer 10, if you select an ePO locale different from the locale with which the operating system was installed, a date format issue occurs. The date format in some areas of the Data Exchange Layer Fabric page does not match the date format in other parts of ePO. For example, Last refresh date and DXL Broker, Health, Start Time.
|
| 1157983 | - | DXL 2.0.1 Hotfix 1 | n/a | Issue: DXL might fail to uninstall or upgrade if file scanning software is present. This issue can occur when you uninstall or upgrade from DXL versions later than or equal to DXL 2.0.1 Hotfix 1 and earlier than DXL 3.0.0. The MSI log contains the following error:
ResetVtpCacheSchedule: getting property: VTPINFOEXE
ResetVtpCacheSchedule: extracting binary stream: mfedxutil64.exe ResetVtpCacheSchedule: creating temp path: mfedxutil64.exe ResetVtpCacheSchedule: deleting file: C:\Windows\Temp\mfedxutil64.exe ResetVtpCacheSchedule: Error 0x80070020: failed to delete file: C:\Windows\Temp\mfedxutil64.exe : The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. CustomAction ResetVtpCacheSchedule returned actual error code 1603 (note this might not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox) Action ended 9:53:30: ResetVtpCacheSchedule. Return value 3. |
| 1107302 | KB86114 | 2.0.1 | n/a | Issue: DXL fails to install on Windows Server 2008. The DXL MSI log (C:\Windows\Temp\McAfeeLogs) contains the following error:
Failed to open access handle : A certificate chain could not be built to a trusted root authority. |
| 1082794 | - | 2.0.0 | n/a | Issue: The Clients Connected count on the DXL Fabric Visualization page shows the number of connected clients and the number of incoming bridges. |
| 1026559 | - | 2.0.0 | n/a | Issue: Bridges can be overlapped on the DXL Fabric Visualization page. |
| 1068538 | - | 1.1.0 | n/a | Issue: DXL Remote Management string "dxl.system.notifyAgent.cmd.success" or "dxl.system.requestAgent.cmd.success" appears in the Audit Log. Explanation: In ePO 5.3, when DXL is installed, ePO uses the Notify Agent Command or the Request Agent Command to contact an Agent to take several actions. This operation generates an Audit Log entry with an action of Notify Agents or Request Agents and the "success" message is: "dxl.system.notifyAgent.cmd.success" This message is just a string display error with the Notify Agent Command and Request Agent Command where the resource property key it uses for "success" messages is incorrect. |
| 1023923 | - | 1.0.1 | n/a | Issue: The DXL client, when deployed through ePO or installed manually, does not start after installation on 64-bit Linux client systems. Resolution: On the Linux client system, install the needed 32-bit libraries (for Red Hat-based distributions, use the command: yum install glibc.i686 libstdc++.i686) and then start the DXL Client service. NOTE: Debian-based distributions are not currently supported. |
| 1003419 | - | 1.0.1 | n/a |
Issue: When a user adds a system to a Tag used in the DXL Topic Authorization, the system does not appear in DXL until the Manager DXL Brokers server task runs. This action occurs once per day by default.
Workaround: To see the system in the Tags, manually run the server task Manager DXL Brokers. |
| 987172 | KB83123 | 1.0.1 | n/a |
Issue: When you install DXL, the DXL MMS service fails to start if Avecto Privilege Guard is installed.
Resolution: This issue occurs when Avecto Privilege Guard tries to "hook" McAfee processes by loading its own code (a DLL) into the McAfee process. See the related article for issue details and resolution options. |
| 973129 | 1.0.1 | n/a |
Issue: The following OpenSSL error message displays in the DXL log file:
[E] OpenSSL Error: error:140940E5:SSL routines:
SSL3_READ_BYTES:ssl handshake failure |
