When the McAfee Agent is configured to update from the Master Repository, it actually uses the Agent Handler to which it reports. If the McAfee Agent is assigned an Agent Handler group that only has the Virtual DNS name configured, the Agent has no IP address to contact the Agent Handler. As a result, tasks such as update and deployment tasks fail when you try to use the Master Repository.
The following errors are recorded in the
mcscript.log (for updates), and
mcscript_deploy.log (for deployments):
downloader Getting server ip from <handler group name> Failed.
creposi Trying the repository <handler group name>
creposi Repository <handler group name> is not usable for the current update session
Where <handler group name> is the name of the Agent Handler group assigned to the client.
