Policy Default Setting
Description
Mac Media Encryption
This technology works on Mac computers using Dell Encryption External Media to encrypt data on removable
devices, which can be accessed using a user-defined password. These policies allow configuration of the
Encryption External Media password requirements and the removable media allowed.
Mac Media Encryption Off
Toggle On to enable Mac Removable Media
Encryption policies. If this policy is toggled
to OFF, no Mac Remova
ble Media Encryption
takes place, regardless of other policies.
HFS Plus is supported and must be enabled.
For instructions to enable HFS Plus, see the
Encryption Enterprise for Mac Administrator
Guide.
Media containing Time Machine backups are
not support
ed. However, media recognized
by computers as Time Machine backup
destinations are automatically whitelisted,
to allow backups to continue. All other
removable media with Time Machine backups
are handled based on
EMS Access to
unShielded Media
and EMS Block Access to
UnShieldable Media
policies.
EMS Scan External Media Not Selected
Selected allows Encryption External Media to
scan removable storage every time
removable storage is inserted.
When this policy is Not Selected and the
Windows Media Encryption policy is Selected,
Encryption External Media only encrypts new
and changed files.

A scan occurs at every insertion so that
Encryption External Media can catch any
files added to the removable storage without
authenticating. You can add files to the
removable storage if you decline to
authenticate, but you cannot access
encrypted data. The files added will not be
encrypted in this case, so the next time you
authenticate to the removable media to
work with encrypted data, Encryption
External Media sca
ns it and encrypts any
files that may have been added without
encryption.
