Known issues
Known issues in this release of the software are described below.
1. Issue: Not all characters are allowed with ePolicy Orchestrator or SQL usernames and passwords, specifically regarding
use with the ePolicy Orchestrator installer. (Reference: 387883, 395890)
Workaround: Here is a list of the allowed and disallowed characters for the usernames and passwords used by the
ePolicy Orchestrator 4.0 Patch 5 installer. This list is known to be valid only for the ePolicy Orchestrator Patch 5 installer
and might not represent the character sets allowed for previous patch installers.
{
ePO username and password official character set for the Patch 5 installer
Allowed
All printable characters with a hex value of 0x20 – 0x7E (ASCII 32 through 126), with exceptions
listed below.
Exceptions (for both user names and passwords, except as noted)
No leading space, trailing spaces, or passwords made up of solely spaces
No double quotes (")
No leading backslashes, trailing backslashes, or passwords made up of solely backslashes (\)
No dollar signs ($)
No percent signs (%)
Usernames cannot contain a colon (:)
Usernames cannot contain a semi-colon (;)
{ SQL user name and password official character set for the patch 5 installer
Allowed
All printable characters with a hex value of 0x20 – 0x7E (ASCII 32 through 126), with exceptions
listed below.
Exceptions (for both usernames and passwords, except as noted)
No leading space, trailing spaces, or passwords made up of solely spaces
No double quotes (")
No single quotes (')
No backslashes (\)
No percent signs (%)
Usernames cannot contain a dollar sign ($)
Usernames cannot contain a colon (:)
Usernames cannot contain a semi-colon (;)
Password size restriction
Passwords must not exceed 40 bytes in length. For multi-byte characters, this limits the
password to a maximum of 20 characters.
2. Issue: Cluster installation on Windows 2008 server is not supported.
Workaround: Cluster users should not migrate to Windows 2008 at this time.
3. Issue: If the master repository is locked, package check-in fails, causing the installation to fail and roll back.
Workaround: Ensure that there are no repository actions that conflict with the installer. These actions can be currently
running or regularly scheduled repository pulls or replications.
4. Issue: If a previous Patch installation is successfully completed with a database user configured to use a non-default
database schema, the following tables are created:
{
<schema used>.OrionExtensionsBackup
{
<schema used>.OrionConfigurationBackup.
The existence of these files causes the Patch 5 installation to fail. (Reference: 461433)
Workaround: Delete these tables and try the installation again.
5. Issue: When using Windows 2008 ePolicy Orchestrator servers, a blank “Domain” selection drop-down list appears when
the user tries to browse for systems while adding new systems to the System Tree in the ePolicy Orchestrator console.
(Reference: 391040)
Workaround: On Windows 2008 servers, the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 4.0.0 Application Server service must have
sufficient permissions to complete the request. For more information, see KB article KB53861
.
6. Issue: On Windows 2008 ePolicy Orchestrator servers, external commands are not executed. (Reference: 433570)
Workaround: On Windows 2008 servers, the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 4.0.0 Application Server service must have
sufficient permissions to complete the request. For more information, see KB article KB53862
.
7. Issue: During a cluster installation, the IP address for a client system appears as 128.0.0.0 after an agent push.
(Reference: 435257)
Workaround: After the first successful communication, the IP address reflects the correct address.
8. Issue: When the SQL Server “Nested Triggers” option is disabled, policy assignment timestamps are not updated. This
causes ePolicy Orchestrator to fail to deliver full policies to client systems. (Reference: 406765)
Workaround: Verify that the “Nested Triggers” SQL Server option is enabled for the ePolicy Orchestrator database. For
more information, see KB article KB52512
.
9. Issue: Modifications to policies are not written to the audit log unless they are from Host Intrusion Prevention policies.
(Reference: 470204)
Workaround: None.
Resolved issues
Issues that are resolved in this release are listed below.
1. Issue: If an administrator changes the "Agent-server secure communication keys," non-Windows agents will not use the
new key(s). (Reference: 366792)
Resolution: The agent key updater package now allows non-Windows agents to use new agent-server secure
communication keys.
2. Issue: Distributed repositories are not used for global
updating if the master repository has been updated with packages
other than DATs and Engines. (Reference: 419665)
Resolution: Global updating will use distributed repositories even if the master repository has been updated with
packages other than DATs and Engines.
3. Issue: When the ePO server receives an invalid package from an agent, it logs extraneous data about the invalid
package contents that does not contain information to aid administrators in determining which agent is sending the
invalid package. (Reference: 475017)
Resolution: The server log now contains information about the machines sending malformed SPIPE packages and no
longer contains the contents of invalid packages.
4. Issue: The product summary version information might not match the detailed product properties version information.
In particular, the detailed product properties might include a build number that is missing in the product summary
version information. (Reference: 467030)
Resolution: Product summary version information and the detailed product properties now has the correct values for
products deployed after this Patch has been installed.
Note: This patch does not correct version mismatches from prior deployments, only from deployments after the patch
has been put into place. Mismatches from prior deployments can be corrected by performing an agent wake up with full
properties on those machines reporting a version mismatch.
5. Issue: When 4.0 agents call in to the ePolicy Orchestrator server with a lower sequence number than the ePolicy
Orchestrator server expects, communication is rejected by the ePolicy Orchestrator server. (Reference: 467325, 464319)
Resolution: This Patch introduces several new ways to aid ePolicy Orchestrator administrators in finding sequence error
problems in their network. For more information, see KB article KB65611
.
6. Issue: Active Directory synchronization with the option to move systems causes the AgentGUID to become Null in the
database. (Reference: 461112)
Note: Systems with a Null AgentGUID receive new AgentGUIDs on the next agent-to-server-communication.
Resolution: The AgentGUID are now retained after a system is moved via Active Directory synchronization.
7. Issue: ePolicy Orchestrator servers running on Windows 2000 show the property of "Free Memory" as 0 for all systems
in the System Tree. (Reference: 450048)
Resolution: ePolicy Orchestrator servers running on Windows 2000 now show the correct "Free Memory" for systems in
the System Tree, after each system's next agent-to-server-communication.
8. Issue: When viewing or exporting a report, the Close button in the console does not work properly. Instead of closing,
the Export page then the Result page are displayed in an endless loop. (Reference: 451729)
Resolution: The Close button on the export page now returns the user to a page where they can continue to navigate,
without having to log out or use the browser Back button.
9. Issue: When creating an FTP Distributed Repository in a non-English environment with the Anonymous option selected,
the FTP Distributed Repository "Anonymous" credential is translated to the localized language and stored in the
sitelist.xml instead of "Anonymous". This might cause errors authenticating anonymously to FTP servers on non-English
ePolicy Orchestrator environments. (Reference: 449159)
Resolution: "Anonymous" is now correctly used for all languages in the FTP Distributed Repository credential setup.
10. Issue: ePolicy Orchestrator 4.0 does not support port IDs greater than 32767 for the target port referenced in a client
event, whereas IANA allows for port numbers up to 65535. (Reference: 462087)
Resolution: All valid port values are now supported as the target port in a client event.
11. Issue: The download credentials for a source repository
site cannot be modified in ePolicy Orchestrator after the site has
been created. (Reference: 450163, 480057)
Resolution: The download credentials for source repository sites can now be edited.
12. Issue: Checking a new agent package into the ePolicy Orchestrator repository does not always update the ePolicy
Orchestrator list of supported platforms correctly. (Reference: 467664)
Resolution: Checking a new agent package into the ePolicy Orchestrator repository correctly updates the ePolicy
Orchestrator list of supported platforms.
13. Issue: In some environments, repository pulls from HTTP source repositories might never finish. (Reference: 453274)
Resolution: A new registry setting has been created to work around this issue. The new registry DWORD value is called
"RawHTTPDownloadSocketsOnly" and exists in the HLM\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\ePolicy Orchestrator key.
{
A value of 1 changes the HTTP pull functionality to use Windows Sockets (Winsock).
{
A value of 0, absence of a value, or absence of this key provides the pre-existing pull functionality using Windows
Internet (WinINet).
14. Issue: Replication of specific, selected packages to a distributed repository can intermittently fail if multiple replication
tasks are running simultaneously. (Reference: 462653)
Resolution: A concurrency problem with multiple running replication tasks has been resolved.
15. Issue: The Extra DAT package cannot be deployed to additional platforms without a patch to ePolicy Orchestrator each
time additional platform support is required. (Reference: 397874)
Resolution: The supported platform list for Extra DAT
packages can now be updated without requiring a patch to ePolicy
Orchestrator.
16. Issue: The failure to push an agent can result in the ePO server not being able to create new network mappings, which
can cause pushagent commands and replication to UNC repositories to fail. (Reference: 449780)
Resolution: UNC network resource handles are now returned to the operating system after an agent push failure.
17. Issue: The removal of non-Windows agent packages from the ePolicy Orchestrator master repository prevents agent
update tasks from detecting that a new master server key has been assigned. (Reference: 463964)
Resolution: The removal of non-Windows agent packages no longer prevents agent update tasks from detecting new
master server keys.
18. Issue: The Roll Up server task can intermittently process the same computer twice, causing failure of the task and
computers not to be imported. (Reference: 446354)
Resolution: Computers are now processed only once each, and the server task completes successfully.
19. Issue: Threat-based notification rules can be triggered for non-threat events if the product and category filters of the
rules are satisfied. (Reference: 461917)
Resolution: Threat-based notification rules now are triggered only for threat events.
20. Issue: During an Active Directory synchronization, disabled computer accounts were being imported into ePolicy
Orchestrator. (Reference: 439191)
Resolution: Disabled computer accounts in Active Directory are no longer imported into ePolicy Orchestrator.
Note: If the ePO administrator has configured the Active Directory synchronization to "remove deleted systems" from
the System Tree, deleted systems and disabled systems are automatically removed at the next Active Directory
synchronization.
21. Issue: Installation for ePolicy Orchestrator 4.0 fails if
the password for SQL includes the dollar ($) character. (Reference:
461677)
Resolution: The "$" character is now an acceptable character for the SQL password. For a complete listing of allowed
characters for your ePO and SQL user names and passwords, refer to the first entry under Known Issues (above).
22. Issue: An event purge fails for Purge with 0 Days. (Reference: 471355)
Resolution: An event log will Purge with 0 days.
23. Issue: Users get a message "Exception occurred in OrionCore.dialogBoxOkHandler!" when trying to purge Notification
Logs. (Reference: 472788)
Resolution: Users no longer receive an exception message when purging the Notification Logs.
24. Issue: Items Event Group and Event Type cannot be sorted in the Response Builder. (Reference: 424139)
Resolution: Event Group and Event Type are now sortable, based on the users locale.
25. Issue: Failed to create chart “FSE: FoundScore Trend for Last 30 Days” is displayed when My FoundScore is selected.
(Reference: 428041)
Resolution: Chart creation is now fixed for “FSE: FoundScore Trend for Last 30 Days” when selecting My FoundScore.
26. Issue: Incorrect text appeared in options to filter data for "Description text goes here." (Reference: 428904)
Resolution: This text has been updated to read "Build table filter criteria."
27. Issue: The console date defaults to US format (MM/DD/YY). (Reference: 430784)
Resolution: The date is set to correspond to the system locale format.
28. Issue: The error message "Page cannot be found" is displayed when the Back button is clicked on within the Notification
Log page. (Reference: 449202)
Resolution: The Back button has now been fixed for the Notification Log page.
29. Issue: The Grouped Bar Chart report shows bars in each group, even if not applicable. (Reference: 450500)
Resolution: The Grouped Bar Charts no longer display bars with a group count of "0".
30. Issue: Policy Auditor Dashboard tables incorrectly display the column title "Total" on localized builds. (Reference:
455340)
Resolution: The column title for the Grouped Summary Table has been fixed on localized builds.
31. Issue: Users, within the same admin group, can view the console of the last admin user’s session, until the page is
refreshed. (Reference: 456088)
Resolution: The Admin console session cache now uses a different method to update the cache key.
32. Issue: Users cannot use "§" in the ePolicy Orchestrator user name or password. (Reference: 457497)
