Killing a Device Parent topic

Initiating a kill command deletes all Endpoint Encryption device data. The deleted data is different depending on the scope of data that the associated Endpoint Encryption agent manages. For example, initiating a kill command to a Full Disk Encryption device deletes all data from the endpoint, while initiating a kill command to a File Encryption device deletes all files and folders in local or removable storage protected by the File Encryption agent. The kill command is issued when the Endpoint Encryption agent communicates with PolicyServer.
