New Sisipsconfig Commands

Question	What are the new DCS/SEP Linux 6.9.2 and SEP 13 RU4 commands in sisipsconfig? Can I use old uninstall commands to remove the DCS Linux Agent and SEP now?
Answer	Note: You MUST use the new commands to fully remove the 6.9.2 Agent as well as SEP.

Asset Dual Management Mode

Question	How can you tell if a Linux Asset is using Dual Mode in the UMC?
Answer	Dual Managed (SEP + DCS) DCS Managed

Note: If you install the DCS Agent first, then it will report to the SEPM if you install SEP afterward. If you install the DCS Agent last, then it will report to the UMC.

 

Reviewing SEPM Anti-malware Events when Dual Managed

Question	My Asset is now managed by SEP and DCS but I don't see Malware Events. Where do I check now?
Answer	Log into SEPM < Clients < Client or Monitors < Logs < Define log type < View Log < Choose Asset < Export

Account Lockout

Question

What new lockout features should be known?

Answer

Below is what an end-user will see if locked out: Note: Run top 200 rows query against dcs_umc < Tables < security.users to find locked data and locked  timeout to confirm when to try again. To unlock as an Administrator, simply log into the UMC and click the padlock button on any user that shows as “Locked”: What if  you want to modify any of these settings? Log into the UMC < Server < Settings < Login Management: Note: These settings apply as well to the Java Console. It is less descriptive and only will yield the standard failure message if locked out. Just remember to instead check the SCSPDB < Tables < dbo.USR table instead.
