Deploy a custom Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) 26.x installation package generated by Package Creator using a third-party tool

Prev Next

Use your third-party deployment tool to deploy an executable, custom installer that you generated with Endpoint Upgrade Assistant Package Creator to your endpoints. The custom installer contains installation packages for Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) 26.x and other required Trellix products.

These steps vary depending on the tool. See the documentation for your third-party deployment tool for specific deployment details.

  1. Import the installer that you created with Package Creator into your third-party deployment tool.

  2. Specify the information and options required for your environment.These vary depending on your tool. Some examples might be:

    • To detect whether the product needs to be installed — Specify a detection method for determining whether the product is already installed, such as a file, a registry key, or an .msi product code. For example, Trellix ENS 26.x doesn't need to be deployed to systems where the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry key SOFTWARE\McAfee\Endpoint\AV includes a value for ProductVersion that is equal to 26.x.

    • To configure the user experience — Specify options for running the installer on the endpoint (for example, whether users need to be logged on, whether installation is hidden, and estimated and maximum installation times).

    • To check whether other required products need to be upgraded — Specify any dependencies for required products and versions. For example, if you specify Trellix Agent version 5.6.x and an earlier version is installed, it will be upgraded before Trellix ENS 10.7 is installed.

To verify that Trellix ENS installed on your endpoints, select MenuReportingDashboards, then select Endpoint Security: Installation Status. Check that version 26.xxxx is installed on the correct number of endpoints.
