ePO can use a non-default Engine ID, which is based on the IP address of the ePO server.
To enable this feature, insert an entry into the ePO database and then restart the ePO services.
- Open SQL Management Studio.
- Run the following SQL query against the ePO database:
INSERT into OrionServerProperties([Key], Value) values ('snmp.localEngineId.base', 'ip');
- Restart the ePO services.
- Press Windows+R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
- Right-click each of the following ePO services and select Restart:
McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator #.#.# Application Server
McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator #.#.# Event Parser
McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator #.#.# Server
- Close the services page.
After the restart, the ePO server will create and use a non-default Engine ID.
