FEATURES


System Compliance Profiler version 1.0 (Beta 2)
offers the following features:

-  Microsoft patch compliance reporting.

-  Customizable compliance assessment based on
   searches for specific files, registry
   entries, services and Microsoft patch
   references.

-  Downloadable rule templates.

-  File and patch integrity verification (with
   MD5 'fingerprinting') .

-  Completely integrated with McAfee ePolicy
   Orchestrator for centralized administration
   and host-based compliance reporting.

-  Graphical compliance reports with drill-down
   paths.


   NOTE:
   System Compliance Profiler provides scanning
   and reporting features only. To distribute
   and manage patches, Network Associates
   recommends using third-party deployment
   software.


_____________________________________________________
WHAT’S NEW IN THIS BETA

The major changes in System Compliance Profiler
Beta 2 include:

-  The rule list has been split into two
   separate lists. The top list contains the
   rules that System Compliance Profiler uses
   in its scans. The bottom list contains rule
   templates, a rule development area, and a
   folder for archived rules.

-  In rule sets, you can no longer create
   individual rules at the top level; you can
   only create groups at this level. All rules
   must reside within a group.

-  You cannot cut and paste rule templates, but
   you can copy them.

-  The Product Deployment Details report has
   been removed.

-  Reports include additional drill-down
   paths.

-  Compliance/Non-Compliance reports now show
   "Unknown Scan Results" for computers that
   have not reported scan results using the
   latest scanning rules.

-  Reports now show violations by rule rather
   than by group. (However the results do show
   the group associated with each rule
   violation.)
