Changing Trellix Agent mode on non-Windows systems must be done manually.

  1. On the target system, locate the maconfig file in the binaries subfolder of the ma folder.

    Linux

    /opt/McAfee/agent/bin

    Macintosh

    /Library/McAfee/agent/bin

  2. Open a terminal window on the target system.

  3. Run the following command:

    /opt/McAfee/agent/maconfig -provision -unmanaged -nostart

    Note

    The optional -nostart parameter indicates that Trellix Agent does not restart after changing mode.
