CentOS systems are reported as Workstations when they are Servers

McAfee Agent (MA) 5.x Supported CentOS Server systems (Linux operating systems) For environment information, see KB51573 - Supported platforms for McAfee Agent 5.x. Problem
When you install the McAfee Agent on a CentOS server system, it’s incorrectly reported as a Workstation in the System Properties, OS Platform section of the ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) console.
Cause
McAfee Agent reads the system information from Examples: Output: Or Output: VERSION="8 (Core)" ID="centos" ID_LIKE="rhel fedora" VERSION_ID="8" PLATFORM_ID="platform:el8" PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Linux 8 (Core)" ANSI_COLOR="0;31" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:centos:centos:8" HOME_URL="https://www.centos.org/" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.centos.org/" There’s no reference for whether the system is a Server or Workstation. So, the McAfee Agent defaults to report back to ePO as a Workstation. Solution
This issue is resolved in McAfee Agent 5.7.4, which is available from either the ePO Software Manager or the Product Downloads site. To view other known and resolved issues, see KB93773 - McAfee Agent 5.7.x Known Issues. NOTE: You need a valid Grant Number to access the update.
