Description

Access the Full Disk Encryption agent from the Full Disk Encryption icon () in the system tray. From the context menu, you can view the device encryption status and synchronize with PolicyServer.

See Full Disk Encryption Context Menu.

Command Builder

Use Command Builder to generate scripts for automated installations and to create encrypted values for credentials when creating the scripts.

For more information, see the Endpoint Encryption Installation Guide.

See Using the Command Line Helper.

DAAutoLogin

Use DAAutoLogin for Windows patching. DAAutoLogin allows for a one-time bypass of Endpoint Encryption Preboot.

See Patching Process for Full Disk Encryption.

Recovery Console

Use Recovery Console to recover from an operating system critical error, troubleshoot network issues, and manage users or logs.

See Recovery Console.

Recovery Tool

Use the bootable Repair CD to decrypt the hard disk before removing Full Disk Encryption in the event that the disk becomes corrupted. Only use the Repair CD if standard removal methods are not possible. A typical symptom of a corrupted disk is a black screen.
