Advisories v8.7.1
● The restart prompt now consistently displays on the client computer after Dell Encryption is enabled. [DDPMS-736]
● Improvements have been made to reported status in the System Preferences panel. [DDPMS-760, DDPMS-766,
DDPMS-783, DDPMS-788, DDPMS-797, DDPMS-800, DDPMS-804, DDPMS-823, DDPMS-825]
● Unmanaged FileVault2 volumes are now indicated as Not Protected on the DDP Server, as expected, since their recovery
keys are not available. Status of unmanaged FileVault2 volumes previously shown as Protected will change to Not Protected.
[DDPMS-787, DDPMS-808, DDPMS-816, DDPMS-822]
● If a user declines DDP|E management of a FileVault-encrypted non-boot fixed volume on a computer with more than
one non-boot fixed volume, the user is now prompted to accept management of each of the remaining system volumes.
[DDPMS-789]
● Non-boot volumes are now FileVault-encrypted even though the boot volume has no recovery partition. If the boot volume is
Core Storage, it will also be encrypted. [DDPMS-790]
● On a computer with multiple volumes including an external volume, FileVault encryption now proceeds as expected and
status is accurately displayed on the System Volumes tab.[DDPMS-791]
● After FileVault encryption of multiple volumes, the DDP Server now displays the correct number of protected volumes.
[DDPMS-792]
● The DDP Server now displays encryption sweep time stamps for endpoints with more than one Core Storage volume on the
boot disk when both FileVault encryption and System Volume Only encryption are enabled. [DDPMS-806]
● When policy is changed to enable FileVault encryption, FileVault encryption now begins without requiring restart on managed
endpoints that are running Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.x. [DDPMS-812]
● After policy is changed to enable FileVault encryption, the necessary restart now occurs according to Restart Delay policies
regardless whether a user is logged in. [DDPMS-817]
● When the Volumes Targeted for Encryption policy is changed from All Fixed Volumes to System Volume Only, the DDP
Server now displays endpoints as Protected during decryption. [DDPMS-818]
● An issue has been resolved that occurred when Disk Utility made changes to a Dell-encrypted volume, in some
circumstances rendering it unusable. Generally, this issue occurred with volumes on which a FAT partition resided between
HFS+ or Core Storage partitions. [DDPMS-858]
● Added 02/2016 - The issue that led to continuous prompts for administrator credentials with FileVault encryption on Mac OS
X Yosemite 10.10.5 is resolved. [DDPMS-897]
● Added 02/2016 - When pre-installation scripts cannot run, for example, when the installer is run directly from the .dmg file
and permissions on /tmp are incorrect, a message now explains this. Previously, an installation log entry incorrectly indicated
that the operating system is not supported, and the user received no indication that the scripts could not run. [DDPMS-899]
● Added 02/2016 - An issue that led to activation failure with a log entry, "Unknown canWrap failure," is resolved.
