Product extensions and packages
The MNE extension that is installed on McAfee ePO allows managing and reporting of FileVault on Mac
systems by deploying policy to client systems. The MNE software package that is checked in to the
master repository on the McAfee ePO server is the actual product that is installed on the client system,
and applies the policy received from McAfee ePO.
Features
You can manage FileVault through MNE using these features.
• Management of FileVault — FileVault can be enabled or disabled on client systems.
• Password policy enforcement — Enabling this option allows you to apply password settings on
client systems.
• Reporting — FileVault status can be monitored on client systems.
• System recovery — FileVault recovery keys are escrowed in the McAfee ePO database, and might
be retrieved through MNE to assist in recovery using Apple FileVault recovery tools.
We don't provide support for FileVault user management. However, if you still want to manage users,
you must use the standard Apple controls that require administrative privileges.
