Anyone experiencing issue with agents that are upgraded to 5.6.2.209 not show update version in ePO

[twenden]

I noticed that McAfee released a KB92203 related to a issue with ePO 5.10 cumulative update 5. This issue is with the ePO agent when upgraded from 5.6.1 to 5.6.2 not reflect in the ePO console as being updated. 

We are seeing that issue. We upgrade a agent, via ePO, from 5.6.1.308 to 5.6.2.209. The upgrade installs successfully but the ePO console still shows the endpoint as having version 5.6.1.308. When you visit the endpoint, you will see that the agent has upgraded to 5.6.2.209.

Does anyone know of any work arounds to this issue yet as it causing me issues.

Hi twenden,

We are still investigating this issue and currently there is no workaround available. Kindly open a SR with support. So that if the Dev provides any workaround, we can provide through SR.

Hello @twenden ,

There are two workarounds which you can try on this one,

1. Delete the system from epo without removing McAfee agent, then from client system do collect and sent props that will fetch the correct information to epo server.

2. Do a full collect and send props i.e wake up agent from epo server , wait for few mins, it will fetch correct details.  I have attached screenshot for your reference.

Thanks. Just tried that on a system we found to have this issue yesterday. I removed it from ePO and then waited for it to talk back. I then noticed that it showed the correct agent version.

So far that is pretty much the only workaround.  There is a fix dev is working on, but they haven't fixed it just yet.  You might want to open a service request so you can get the fix as soon as it is ready.  Otherwise you would have to wait for general release.

With some (but not all) 5.6.2 agents talking to fully updated ePO 5.10, we see Virusscan 8.8 DAT versions not being updated, though they show as correct on the affected box and in the affected box's registry.

Same issue?

Hi philrandal,

Kindly log a SR please with support please.

It is possible, but not necessarily.  The only way to be sure is to open a service request with a mer from one or 2 of the affected systems (mer.mcafee.com) so we can look at the properties that the agent is sending to epo.  When you run the mer, be sure to run it as administrator and choose the specific products installed instead of choosing all products.

Just noticed if you look at "Agent Version (deprecated)" it shows the correct version, while "Product Version (Agent)" shows the wrong version.

You also see the correct version in Single System Troubleshooting.

The correct version is also shown in System Information > McAfee Agent tab > More

So ePO is getting the information, just not displaying it correctly. In some cases, the work around of sending a wake-up call with "Retrieve all properties even if they haven't changed since the last time they were collected. If deselected, only retrieve changed properties." works, and in some cases it doesn't.
