Which method uses Active Directory to populate System Tree?

• A. Import Systems From A Text File
• B. McAfee Agent Deployment Task
• C. AD Synchronization
• D. System Tree Import

Answer: (C)

Active Directory integration with ePO is handled through AD Synchronization. It connects to AD, reads computer objects and their OU paths, and automatically creates and updates corresponding entries in the System Tree to reflect the AD structure. This keeps the ePO inventory aligned with the domain, enabling targeted policy application and accurate reporting. The other options involve static imports or deployment tasks that don’t actively pull and map systems from AD: importing from a text file adds a fixed list; a System Tree Import brings in a pre-made tree; and the deployment task focuses on pushing the agent rather than populating the tree from AD.
