Installation guide

NoteSoftware
If no other database has been previously installed, this database can be installed
automatically at user’s selection.
SQL Server 2005 Express
Update the ePolicy Orchestrator server and the database server with the most
current updates and patches.
Microsoft updates
The installation fails if using a version of MSI previous to MSI 3.1.MSI 3.1
NOTE: Using ePolicy Orchestrator 4.0 with MSDE 7 or SQL 7 is not supported.
Database installation documented in this guide
The only database installation scenario described in detail is a first-time installation of SQL
Server 2005 Express. In this scenario, the ePolicy Orchestrator Setup installs both the ePolicy
Orchestrator software and the database on the same server. If the database is to be installed
on a different server from the ePolicy Orchestrator software, manual installation is required on
the remote servers.
Other relevant database installations and upgrades
See the documentation provided by the database manufacturer for information about the
following installation scenarios:
• Installing SQL Server 2005.
• Upgrading from MSDE to SQL Server 2005.
• Upgrading from MSDE 2000 to SQL Server 2005.
• Upgrading from MSDE 2000 to SQL Server 2005 Express.
• Maintenance settings — McAfee recommends making specific maintenance settings to
ePolicy Orchestrator databases. For instructions, see Maintaining ePolicy Orchestrator
databases in the ePO 4.0 Help .
• Remote database server — Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8.
SQL Server
• Dedicated server and network connection — Use a dedicated server and network
connection if managing more than 5,000 client computers.
• Local database server — If using SQL Server on the same system as the ePolicy
Orchestrator server, McAfee recommends using a fixed memory size in Enterprise Manager
that is approximately two-thirds of the total memory for SQL Server. For example, if the
computer has 1GB of RAM, set 660MB as the fixed memory size for SQL Server.
• SQL Server licenses — If using SQL Server, a SQL Server license is required for each
processor on the computer where SQL Server is installed.
CAUTION: If the minimum number of SQL Server licenses is not available after you install
the SQL Server software, you may have issues installing or starting the ePolicy Orchestrator
software.
Distributed repositories
• Free disk space — 100MB on the drive where the repository is stored.
• Memory — 256MB minimum.
