If the installer is unable to connect to the ePolicy Orchestrator server directly, it uses the proxy server
setting configured on the client system to download and install the agent. The installer uses the proxy
server settings configured in the Internet Explorer for Windows client systems and System Preferences
for Macintosh client systems.
• Download using proxy server is supported only on Windows and Macintosh client
systems.
• You must provide the proxy server credentials if your client system requires
authentication to connect to the proxy server.
If the client system fails to connect to the ePolicy Orchestrator server directly or using the proxy
server, it broadcasts a message to discover an agent with relay capability in its network. The
RelayServer responds to the message and establishes connection with the client system. See Agent
relay capability section for more details.
If the agent package download fails due to network connectivity problems, agent will resume
downloading the remaining installation files from the point it stopped when the McAfee Smart installer
is run next time.
The agent then installs other McAfee products through the deployment tasks and enforces new policies
assigned to the managed node fetched during the first ASCI.
