Device Lease Period 30
Defines the period of inactivity (in days)
before an encrypted endpoint is
automatically removed from the list of
managed clients.
The inactivity period is based on the number
of days since the Dell Server last received
inventory information from the encrypted
endpoint. Once removed, the endpoint will
no longer be included in reports, statistics,
and other administrative views.
If the encrypted endpoint communicates with
the Dell Server after the inactivity period has
expired, the endpoint w
ill be returned to the
list of actively-managed clients.
Note: The Dell Server will always keep
encryption keys in escrow, even for removed
endpoints. This ensures recoverability of
encrypted data through various workflows,
