Recovery of Encryption Enterprise for Windows on Boot Camp
Mac OS X Boot Camp Support
NOTE:
When using Boot Camp, Dell Encryption Enterprise does not encrypt the Windows operating system. Also, if two or more
bootable macOS partitions exist on the device, Encryption Enterprise encrypts only the primary volume.
Boot Camp is a utility included with Mac OS X that assists you in installing Windows on Mac computers in a dual-boot
configuration. Boot Camp is supported with the following Windows operating systems:
● Windows 7 and 7 Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate (64-bit)
● Windows 8.1 and 8.1 Pro (64-bit)
NOTE:
Windows 7 is Boot Camp 4 or 5.1. Windows 8.1 and higher is Boot Camp 5.1 only.
To use Encryption Enterprise for Windows in Boot Camp on a computer with Encryption Enterprise for Mac, the system volume
must be encrypted through Encryption Enterprise with FileVault2. See the Command Line Installation/Upgrade for instructions.
NOTE:
If your Windows partition is a candidate for Encryption External Media, be sure to whitelist it or it will be encrypted. See
Copy whitelist rule.
NOTE:
You must ensure Windows is installed before deploying client policies enabling encryption. After the client begins the
encryption process, it disallows disk partition operations required by Boot Camp.

external drive.
Prerequisites

recovery in the Management Console by searching for the owner's user name and viewing the devices encrypted for that
user. The format of the Device ID/Unique ID is "John Doe's MacBook.Z4291LK58RH".
