Managing client systems
System management allows you to import system information into McAfee ePO. This is useful in the
process of installing MNE and viewing the list of FileVault users.
Client systems are managed by McAfee ePO through a combination of product policies. You can
identify systems that require the same policy settings, and place them in a system group. This
grouping allows you to update the policy settings to all systems in that group at the same time.

Add a system to an existing group
You can import systems from your neighborhood network to groups through McAfee ePO. You can also
import a network domain or Active Directory container.
The client systems are automatically added to the System Tree in McAfee ePO on successful installation
of the McAfee Agent for Mac.
For more information about performing this task, see the product documentation for your version of
McAfee ePO.
