Update AMCore content using the ENS mirror task

The preferred and most efficient method to update AMCore content is the ENS mirror task. The mirror task replicates the update files from the first accessible repository, defined in the repository list, to a mirror site on your network. Using a replicated site is more efficient. Your systems communicate with a server that is closer than a McAfee Enterprise internet site, which economizes access and download time.

For more information, see the "Configure, schedule, and run mirror tasks" section of the Endpoint Security 10.7 Product Guide.

Connect the isolated network to an existing ePO server

Install an Agent Handler in the DMZ. Then, manage the configurations and the update repositories from an ePO server on-premises already installed in your environment. Also, you can create a Super Agent that connects to ePO and works as a Distributed Repository.

For more information, see the following resources:

Update AMCore content from an FTP repository, HTTP repository, local folder, or UNC path

Create a share folder for the DMZ to access AMCore updates.
Download the ePO package in the V3 section from the Security Updates site.
Unzip the downloaded file to the AMCore repository. Here is what the AMCore content looks like:
Configure each standalone ENS system to download files locally from the FTP repository, HTTP repository, local folder, or UNC path:
1. Go to Settings, Common, Show Advanced, Source sites for updates, Add.
2. Type a name for the site.
3. Select Enabled.
4. Set Retrieve files from to following options:
  1. FTP repository - Type the URL, for example: ftp://DMZ_FTP/AMCore-Updates/. The default port is 21.
  2. HTTP repository - Type the URL, for example: http://DMZ_FTP/AMCore-Updates/. The default port is 80.
  3. Local folder - Type the folder path, for example: C:\Repository\AMCore-Updates\.
  4. UNC path - Type the share folder path, for example: \\Server\share\AMCore-Updates\.
5. Type the logon credentials if needed.
6. Click Apply.
Click Update Now and wait for the update to complete.

NOTE: To verify the AMCore content date go to the Settings, About, Threat Prevention section, AMCore Content date. If the update was successful, the date shows updated and the version is different from 0.5.
