ePolicy Orchestrator Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the main advantage of using the ePO Agent?
ANSWER: The primary advantage of the ePO Agent is that it operates
in the background to protect the workstation from virus infections
without the need for configuration or input from the user.
2. If I use the ePO Agent, will I still need to install the VirusScan
and/or NetShield programs?
ANSWER: You can, but it is not necessary. The ePO Agent contacts
the ePO Server and automatically installs and configures VirusScan
and/or NetShield.
3. How much traffic is generated on our network by the ePO Agent?
ANSWER: When the ePO Agent is first installed, it contacts
the ePO Server and requests a download of the VirusScan 4.5.1 scanning
program or in the case of NT Servers, NetShield 4.5. This is a 15
MB download done at random intervals and is the only time the system
sends significant traffic over the network. Thereafter, the ePO agent
doesn't initiate any network traffic except for once every 720 minutes.
At that time, it makes a short communication with the server to check
for new policies and new virus definitions. The communication involves
3-20K of traffic.
4. If I install the ePO Agent, can I still add additional scans
to my workstation beyond those set by policy?
ANSWER: Yes you can. The ePO Server instructs the Agent to
scan a regularly updated default set of files on your workstation
known to be subject to viruses. This configuration is intended to
provide adequate protection with a minimum impact on performance.
You can schedule additional tasks using the VirusScan console.
5. Can I uninstall the ePO Agent?
ANSWER: Yes you can.
