 ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) and NTLMv2 Updated 11/03/06 2:00pm

CIT has been made aware that there are some problems with ePO when using NTLMv2 authentication. Versions of ePO prior to 3.6.1 are not supported for use with NTLMv2. McAfee has released ePO version 3.6.1 and has stated this is compatible in environments using NTLMv2. For versions less than 3.6.1, McAfee recommends changing to SQL authentication rather then using Windows NT authentication.

Please note that McAfee has just released ePO 3.6.1. This has not been tested by CIT in an NTLMv2 environment.
