Resolved issues
The Hotfix resolves these issues. Internal Tracking Reference: 1188538
1189199
When McAfee Agent Backwards Compatibility Service starts up automatically
(rather by being "manually" started by the McAfee Agent Service) the McAfee
Agent Status Monitor was showing a red bar with "Agent Service is now stopped"
even though the service is running. This Hotfix shows the correct bar color and
wording even if the compatibility service starts automatically.
1189201
When a computer had 10 or more IP addresses, MA was sending empty values
for IP Address, MAC Address, and DNS Name properties. This caused IP
address to appear in ePO console as all zeros (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0).
This limit has been reset to 100 IP addresses in this Hotfix.
1189202
VSE console AutoUpdate Repository List showed multi-byte repository name
with garbled characters. This Hotfix corrects this issue.
1176544

unscheduled times. Now this task runs as scheduled.
1189543
Scheduled Mirror task was failing with MA 5.0.4.470, when only McAfeeHttp
repository was available. This Hotfix resolves this issue.
1156555
Scheduled tasks were getting not invoked, despite configuration. Now they are
getting invoked.
1191304
Copyright information for MA was shown as McAfee Inc. Now it’s changed
appropriately to McAfee LLC.
1192946
