• Domain controllers — The server must have a trust relationship with the Primary Domain
Controller (PDC) on the network. For instructions, see the Microsoft product documentation.
• Security software
• Install and/or update the anti-virus software on the ePolicy Orchestrator server and scan
for viruses.
CAUTION: If running VirusScan Enterprise 8.5i on the system on which you are installing
ePolicy Orchestrator, you must ensure the VSE Access Protection rules are disabled during
the installation process, or the installation fails.
• Install and/or update firewall software on the ePolicy Orchestrator server.
• Ports
• McAfee recommends avoiding the use of Port 80 for HTTP communication via ePolicy
Orchestrator because it is the primary port used by many web-based activities; it is a
popular target for malicious exploitation; and it is likely to be disabled by the system
administrator in response to a security violation or outbreak.
NOTE: Ensure that the ports you choose are not already in use on the ePolicy Orchestrator
server computer.
• Notify the network staff of the ports you intend to use for HTTP and HTTPS communication
via ePolicy Orchestrator.
NOTE: Installing the software on a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) is supported, but
not recommended.
