15 184 Using policies to manage products and systems Sharing policies among McAfee ePO servers was possible only by exporting a policy from the source server and importing it to the target servers one at a time. The process has been simplified and automated. Now the administrator needs only to: 1 Designate the policy for sharing. 2 Register the servers that will share the policy. 3 Schedule a server task to distribute the shared policy. Setting up policy sharing for multiple McAfee ePO servers Use these tasks to configure policy sharing for use with multiple McAfee ePO servers. McAfee recommends completing these tasks in the sequence listed here. If the policy needs to be modified after it has been shared, edit the policy and run the shared policies task again. It might be prudent to inform local administrators of the change.
