Web API issue

[TimLin]

Hi guys,

I have a issue about transfer system with MDE when i try to ePO migration.
I have study the document(The client transfer between ePO servers guide for McAfee Drive Encryption 7.2.0) on the McAfee knowledge Center. The document means "Enabling system transfer must be performed using the web-API",but i do not understand how to performed.

Does anyone have any experience running Web APIs to transfer systems?

Thank you.

There is an example python script available or you can use a browser and run the command manually. Here are the manual command:

Command:

• https://<hostname>:8443/remote/eeadmin.enableSystemTransfer?

Switches:

• enable=true
• maxUsers=<value>
• searchOrder=<value>

Example:

• https://<hostname>:8443/remote/eeadmin.enableSystemTransfer?enable=true&maxUsers=50

I am trying to transfer drive encrypted laptops withe MDE 7.2.7.8 from one ePO server to another ePO server. Database already restored and security keys are the same. But I am finding confusing documentation on how to accomplish transfering drive encrypted laptops to the new ePO server.

According to the any of the McAfee Drive Encryption 7.2.x Client Transfer Migration Guides it states "Note that systems must not be transferred using the McAfee ePO system tree Agent | System Transfer, because it deletes the system from the source McAfee ePO server." Then there is the bit about enabling transfer feature with Web API. How am I to proceed? I thought I would be able to use "McAfee ePO system tree Agent | System Transfer:. Help!!!
