McAfee (NAI) ePolicy Set Up
on a Windows 98 Client
With Windows 98 (or Win 98 SE), it is imperative to set up and prepare the client just right. In order for ePolicy to
function correctly, the client must be able to communicate with the ePolicy server with all of the parameters below in place.
To Configure McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator on Windows 98 Systems
[The company McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator Push Solution]
1.Go to Control Panel, open Network Application, Access Control:
--> Select User-Level access control; type in "Domain_Name", although it should be there by default.
--> You will possibly see a message indicating that sharing of folders will no longer be viable. Click OK, as users can share via User-Level as well. Most do not share folders on their hard drives anyway in Share-Level mode because it exists mainly for peer-to-peer networking (where every user is an Administrator) . If they do, we should discuss Folder and File sharing with them on the //Corporate_Server, as this is the method most use to share resources.
***Exceptions to this MIGHT exist and we should ask first. For example, one Engineering Assistant had basic Web Services (PWS) set up on her Windows 98 PC. She was using it temporarily as the Engineering Intranet test/development internal site. Disabling Share-Level mode in this case would knock her site off-line. The reason is that PWS sets up a 'mini-IIS' server on the Win98 PC, and uses the local Share-Level permissions, enabling internal users to simply type in the PC hostname to access it.
2. Also in the Network Application, open File and Printer Sharing:
--> Select both options available!
3. Go again to Control Panel, open Passwords Application, click "Remote Administration"
-> Select (check) "Enable remote administration of this Server"
--> Should see that the "Domain Admins" is visible in the list
--> If not, select Add, and try to add "Domain Admins" from the list
You know when the ePolicy “agent” is installed on a Windows 98 system when you “Control-Alt-Delete” and see 2 processes beginning with “nai..xxx” (yes, this stands for Network Associates, Inc.).
