Manually uninstall MNE from the client system
You can manually uninstall MNE from the client system, although McAfee ePO has all the required
features for removing the product from the client system.
Before you begin
• You must have administrative privileges to perform this task.
Task
•
From the command-line, type this command sudo /usr/local/McAfee/uninstall MNE. This
removes the MNE software package from the client system.
Migrating from EEMac to MNE
You can migrate from EEMac to MNE by following these steps.
1
Check that the minimum version of McAfee Agent for Mac is 4.8 or above on the client system. If
not, deploy McAfee Agent for Mac 4.8 or above. For more information, see the Deploy McAfee
Agent for Mac through SSH topic.
2
Deploy MNE to the client system with the appropriate policy setting. For more information, see the
Deploy MNE to client systems topic.
3
Deactivate and uninstall EEMac. For more information, see McAfee Endpoint Encryption 7.0 Product
Guide.
4
Monitor the progress of EEMac in the dashboard to confirm that it is uninstalled. After EEMac is
uninstalled, MNE will automatically enable FileVault at the next policy enforcement. For more
information, see the Enable FileVault on the client system topic.
MNE will not enable FileVault on the client system if EEMac is installed and active.
Reporting FIPS status to client systems
The 140 series of Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) is a U.S. government computer
security standards that specify requirements for cryptography modules.
MNE checks the client systems for FIPS certification and reports whether the client systems are
running in FIPS mode or not. For this to happen, the user must perform these tasks.
1
Install the FIPS Administration tools. For more information about performing this task, see http://
support.apple.com/kb/HT5396.
2
Send an agent wake-up call.
MNE will automatically report the FIPS status back to McAfee ePO.
For Mountain Lion 10.8.4 or above systems, the FIPS status is reported automatically to McAfee ePO by
MNE, and the user does not have to install the FIPS Administration tools.
