Deploy Agent 4.6 und VSE 8.8 with ePO 4.6 on Windows 8 Clients

My Resources that i used are:
- ePO 4.6.3
- Windows 8 Client
- ePO Agent 4.6.0.3122 or higher
- VSE 8.8.0.1128 or higher

1. Check wether the destination client has a default adminshare
2. Check firewall and policy rules
3. Add a new system and deploy agent for a single system or a group
4. Deploy new clienttask for a single system or a group
5. Reaktivate clients

Troubleshooting:

Der Agent "ePO-Agent" wird durch die Agentensteuerung "ePO-Server" reaktiviert.
Agent "ePO-Agent" wird mit NetBIOS reaktiviert.
Fehler beim Lesen der TCP/IP-Antwort vom Remote-System. Die HTTP-Antwort vom Agenten an den Server wird möglicherweise von einer Firewall oder einer Agenten-Richtlinie
blockiert.
Der Agent konnte nicht reaktiviert werden.

I had this message and checked the Firewall and policys rules. The Same massage again. All I had to do was to check system structure for a duplicate entry. There is only
one maintained entry that you can manage or reactivate. In my case there were two and I had to delete one of them. The correct entry was listed unter Lost &
Found.
Some further Information:

...aha

OK, let's have a try.

First I will backup the system and then upgrade. Then I let myself surprised again.

ePO 4.6.0. Hardware sizing and bandwidth usage

McAfee published an new Docu for "ePO 4.6" a few days ago called "epo_460_Hardware_Sizing_and_Bandwidth_Usage_Guide_en-us.pdf". I'm curious about it.

I tell you about later.

Feedback
OK, it's an Interesting Docu with a few examples, but I think it's too large scaled as it is shown there. Maybe not for such gigantic Networks but for smaller with under 1000 Clients.

Firefox 5 final release und ePO 4.6 Konsole

Da der ePolicy Orchestrator 4.6 im Firefox 5 noch nicht laufen will hoffe ich, dass sich das heute oder in kurzer Zeit ändern wird. Ich habe gelesen, dass die ePO-Konsole nur in Releaseversionen funktioniert. Im Wiki von Mozilla habe ich gelesen, dass heute das final Release erscheint.
Wir werden sehen =)

Edit:
Na klasse! Was ist eigentlich mit Firefox los? Kaum ist Version 5 draußen kommt schon Version 6 als Release heraus. Wollen die jetzt mit der Version des Internet Explorers aufschließen? Hat das irgendwelche Marktvorteile? Am ePO Support hat sich nach wie vor nichts geändert. Schuld hierfür ist warscheinlich ein Teil des PageLoad-Skriptes:
 

   "    function validateBrowser()
        {
            var message = checkBrowserFeatures();

            if (message != "")
            {
                // if the browser check fails, don't 

                   let them log in..
                $("userLoginUI").style.display = "none";
                $("login.button").style.display = "none";

                // BZ 526984: If the browser is unsupported, hide 

                   the messages.
                if($('loginMessages')) {
                   $j('#loginMessages').hide();
                }

                $("errorMessageContent").innerHTML = message;
                $("errorMessageContent").style.display = "";

                return false;
            }                                                     "

Hat Jemand eine Idee dies zu umgehen? Ich möchte gerne wieder alle 

WebApps in ein einem Browser öffnen können.

Edit: 

OK, my first Workaround:

Change on your own risk /Änderung auf eigene Gefahr!

Firefox

About:Config  -> New -> String

general.useragent.override

Value:

Edit:

OK, there's an other Workaround Add-On at 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/ 

this works for me. Just insert the parameters for the useragent version.
