Assigning values to custom properties
Use this task to specify up to four custom properties during installation of the agent at the
command line. These values override values set by the ePO administrator.
Custom properties are reported back to the ePO server and are displayed in the system
properties. These properties can be used to enhance custom reporting on systems or to allow
custom tagging.
Task
• At the command line, type the string that is appropriate for your operating system:
• Windows operating systems: FrmInst.exe /CustomProp1="Property 1"
/CustomProp2="Property 2" /CustomProp3="Property 3" /CustomProp4="Property 4"
NOTE: In Windows, custom property values are stored in the registry at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\ePolicy Orchestrator\Agent\CustomProps\
• UNIX-based operating systems: msaconfig -CustomProp1 "Property 1" -CustomProp2
"Property 2" -CustomProp3 "Property 3" -CustomProp4 "Property 4"
NOTE: Custom property values are stored in CustomProps.xml, an editable file located at
/McAfee/cma/scratch/.
