How VM-based scan configuration works
Using the VM‑based scan configuration setting, the McAfee ePO administrator can enforce unique scan
policies to different groups, resource pool, or specific virtual machines protected by MOVE‑SVA on a
hypervisor, even when McAfee Agent is not deployed to the client systems.
The Scan policy can be applied to SVA machines or to a specific virtual machine, or group. When you
enable the VM‑based scan configuration setting, all VMs are protected by the Scan policy, which is assigned
to VM or group. However, when this is disabled, the Scan policy that is assigned to SVA would be
enforced to individual virtual machines.
The Scan policy can be assigned to the system using system‑based assignment or rule‑based
assignment in McAfee ePO.
Enable the VM-based scan configuration setting
When you install the McAfee MOVE AntiVirus Agentless extension, the default Scan policy is assigned to
the My Organization group, and the same is enforced to every VM under this group. However, to enforce a
unique Scan policy to individual virtual machines or group, you need to assign the unique Scan policy to
a specific VM or group, then enable the VM‑based scan configuration option present under the SVA policy.
