Command Builder

Full Disk Encryption and File Encryption are compliant with automated software distribution tools, such as SMS, SCCM, Tivoli, GPO, and LANDesk. Use the Command Builder to generate scripts used to install PolicyServer and Endpoint Encryption agents.

If you intend to use the Command Builder, ensure that your environment meets the agent installation prerequisites, including the automated deployment requirements. See Agent Installation Prerequisites.
