If you are using McAfee ePO (ePolicy Orchestrator) to manage your endpoint software, you can integrate Endpoint and subsequently install it on your endpoint devices to redirect DNS traffic to Infoblox Threat Defense.

## System Requirements

The Endpoint and ePO integration supports the following:

- ePO 5.3 and 5.9
- Infoblox Endpoint 1.7.0
- Client platforms:
  - Windows 7 x86
  - Windows 7 x64
  - Windows 8 x86
  - Windows 8 c64
  - Windows 10 x86
  - Windows 10 x64
  - MAC OS X 10.10, 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, 10.14, and 10.15.

**NOTE**: For a successful installation, 20 Mbytes of free space is required. Additional space (up to 100 Mbytes) is necessary for storing log files.

## Prerequisites

Before you deploy Endpoint in ePO, ensure that you complete the following:

- Download the Endpoint Package (MAC OS X or Windows) downloaded from the <span style="color: #000000">Infoblox </span> Portal. For information see <u><span style="color: #0000ff">*[Downloading Endpoint](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneThreatDefense/pages/35374317)*</span></u>.

**NOTE**: The signatures of the service binaries are generated with McAfee-provided certificate.

- Open the *customer_id_txt* file that was part of the download and copy the customer ID. You enter this ID in the **Command Line** field when deploying Endpoint in ePO.

**NOTE**: Ensure that you save the *customer_id_txt*  file in the same folder as the Endpoint Package.

- Install the McAfee agent on your client machine.
