Policy Default Description
Settings
This technology allows control over general settings such as polling intervals, support dialogs, in-app
feedback, auto updates, data auditing, and client retention periods.
Device Lease Period 30
Defines the period of inactivity (in days) before
any activated entity (a user, endpoint, or policy
proxy) is automatically removed from
management.
The inactivity period is based on the number of
days since the Dell Server last received inventory
information from the activated entity. Once
removed, the entity is no longer included in
reports, statistics, and other administrative views.
If the activated entity communicates with the Dell
Server after the inactivity period has expired, it
returns to being in a managed state.
The Dell Server always keeps encryption keys in
escrow, even for removed endpoints. This ensures
recoverability of data through various workflows,
such as re-activation and forensic analysis.
Enable In-App Feedback Not selected
When selected, a user can submit feedback and
satisfaction ratings to Dell via a link within the
application to a web form.
Server Polling Interval 360 minutes
1-1440 minutes
How often in minutes the SED client attempts to
contact the Dell Server for updates.
Custom Support Dialog String
Customizable text that provides information for
users to contact IT support for the organization.
This allows a maximum of 10,000 characters,
which can be four lines with a maximum of 2500
characters each. The text cannot contain line
feeds, Enters, or similar characters unless they are
escaped. If an administrator enters an invalid
character (non-JSON format), this may cause Data
Guardian clients to stop activating. For user
experience on Windows devices, a maximum of
2000 characters is recommended; for Mobile
devices and Mac, a maximum of 1000 characters
is recommended.
Dell Data Security Auto Updates
Enable Software Auto Updates Not Selected
Selected
Not Selected
Selected enables the client update agent to
automatically check for updates to Dell security
software. If this policy is not selected, no Dell Auto
Updates take place, regardless
of other policies. If
this policy is set, the Update Staging Location
must have a network location in its value.
Update Staging Location String
String
Network location (UNC) where Dell Server stages
Dell update packages. If a network location is not
specified in this policy, the Enable Software Auto
Updates policy should not be published.
