Deploying the McAfee ePO Agent Using Jamf Pro
The McAfee ePO Agent is required to use any of the McAfee enterprise security tools for Mac. It is installed using a script created by the McAfee ePO Server. (This script includes connection details unique to the ePO Server that creates it.) This article explains how to deploy and run the script on clients using a policy in Jamf Pro.
Deploying the McAfee ePO Agent involves the following steps:
-
Obtaining the necessary McAfee components
-
Building a package of the McAfee components
Adding the package to Jamf Pro
Deploying the McAfee components and installation script
Step 1: Obtaining the Necessary McAfee Components
Step 2: Building a Package of the McAfee Components
Use Composer or a third-party packaging tool to build a DMG containing the script. For information about using Composer, see the Composer User Guide.
Step 3: Adding the Package to Jamf Pro
Upload the package you just created containing the install.sh script to Jamf Pro using Jamf Admin. If the master distribution point in your environment is the Jamf Cloud distribution point, you can also upload the package directly to Jamf Pro through the web application. For more information, see Package Management in the Jamf Pro Documentation.
