Once you have checked in the product deployment package, use the Product Deployment client task to install the product on managed systems. The task installs any product that is deployable through ePolicy Orchestrator and has been checked in to the master repository.
Best practices
You can run the product deployment task for any group or individual system. When deciding how to stage your product deployment, McAfee recommends considering the size of the package and the available bandwidth between the master or distributed repositories and the managed systems. In addition to potentially overwhelming the ePO server or your network, deploying products to many systems can make troubleshooting problems more complicated.
Consider a phased rollout to install products to groups of systems at a time. If your network links are fast, try deploying to several hundred clients at a time. If you have slower or less reliable network connections, try smaller groups. As you deploy to each group, monitor the deployment, run reports to confirm successful installations, and troubleshoot any problems with individual systems.
If you are deploying McAfee products or components that are installed on a subset of your managed systems:
1 Use a tag to identify these systems. 2 Move the tagged systems to a group. 3 Configure a Product Deployment client task for the group.
