Check Content

From the ePO server console System Tree, select the "Systems" tab.

Select "This Group and All Subgroups".

Select the asset to be validated.

Select "Actions".

Select "Agent".

Select "Modify Policies on a Single System".

From the product pull-down list, select Solidcore 7.x: General.

From the "Policy" column, select the policy associated with the Category "Configuration (Client)" that is specific to the organization.

If the only "Configuration (Client)" policy applied to the system is the "McAfee Default" policy, this is a finding.
