Server Configuration Flashcards
What does the Server Information Settings page specify in ePO?
The Server Information Settings page specifies Java, OpenSSL, and Apache server information for the ePO and database server, such as name, IP address, and version information.
What can a user do with the server information settings?
You can export the Server Information page details to a CSV file.
What does Personal Settings allow users to do in ePO?
Personal Settings in the ePO console allows you to customize the McAfee ePO server to your environmental needs.
What Personal Settings can be modified?
• Appearance: Provides the ability to change the display color of a selected entry in the console
• Password: This option is no longer available from within Personal Settings; see the “Change Password” entry under the Help icon on the banner bar
• Queries and Reports Warning: Determines whether a warning message appears when you try to drag a query from one query group to another
• System Tree Warning: Determines whether a warning message appears when you try to drag systems or groups from one System Tree group to another
• Tables: Identifies how often auto-refreshed tables are refreshed during your session
• Time Zone Preference: Provides the ability to set the desired time zone for your ePO server
• User Session: Controls the length of time that your user session remains open after you stop interacting with the user interface
Registered executable: response to when conditions are met
What are registered servers? What are the types of registered servers?
Registered servers are servers that work with your ePO server to support or add functionality. When you install ePO for the first time, no other servers are registered with your ePO server.
LDAP. SNMP, Syslog, Additional, Remote, database servers, and other ePO servers.
What is an Agent Handlers?
Agent Handlers are an ePO server component that handle communication between Agent and an ePO server. Each installation of ePO includes an Agent Handler. Agent Handlers can be deployed independently on systems throughout your network. These servers should be on the same network as the ePO server and not on a remote network across a WAN link.
What are roles of an Agent Handler?
By default, the ePO server acts as an Agent Handler. Agent Handler(s) helps offload the demand on the ePO server. They can help scale the ePO infrastructure and reduce the load on the ePO server. They can take care of all the ASCI communication.
How do Agent Handlers do their job?
Managed system is assigned to Agent Handlers
Agent Handlers distribute network traffic, which is generated by an agent-to-server communication interval (ASCI), by assigning managed systems or groups of systems to report to a specific Agent Handler. You can assign single system or groups of systems, as well as have distinct groups assigned to different Agent Handlers.
What is an ASCI?
The agent-server communication interval (ASCI) determines how often the agent calls into McAfee ePO. The ASCI is set on the General tab of the McAfee Agent policy page. The default setting of 60 minutes means that McAfee Agent contacts McAfee ePO once every hour.
What is the system tree?
Epo server responsible for managing one system tree
Contains all of the systems that ePO manages.
System is a managed machine, server, or workstation, laptop or an appliance.
W/ in the system tree each system is rep. By its NetBIOS name.
Internally to ePO each system is rep. By its GUID (Globally Unique ID).
What is the top level in the System Tree?
• My Organization: Top-level (root) group. It cannot be renamed or deleted. All systems are organized within it in logical containers called groups and subgroups.
What is the Lost & Found in the System Tree?
• Lost and Found: Default subgroup where systems with unknown locations are placed. It always appears last in the list and is not alphabetized among its peers. It cannot be renamed or deleted.
Why should systems be sorted in groups and not in a flat list in the System Tree?
Although you can add all systems into one group in the System Tree, a flat list makes setting different policies for different systems very difficult, especially for large networks. By grouping systems, you can manage their policies in one place, rather than individually. You also can schedule system tasks (such as update of virus definition files) at any level of the System Tree, as well as sort systems by IP address or tags.
How are systems able to be grouped in the System Tree?
Machine-type: Laptops, servers, or desktops
Geography: North America or Europe
Political Boundaries (Organization Departments): Finance or Development
Any other logical criteria that supports your needs
What is the tag catalog?
Tags allow users to create labels that can be applied to systems manually or automatically, based on the criteria assigned to the tag.
