"RefreshInventory"=REG_DWORD:1
This entry is deleted from the registry as soon as it is processed. The value is saved in the vault, so even if the computer is rebooted
before the inventory upload takes place, the Encryption client still honors this request the next successful inventory upload.
This entry supersedes the OnlySendInvChanges registry value.
• Slotted Activation is a feature that allows you to spread activations of clients over a set time period in order to ease Security
Management Server/Security Management Server Virtual load during a mass deployment. Activations are delayed based on
algorithmically generated time slots to provide a smooth distribution of activation times.
For users requiring activation through VPN, a slotted activation conguration for the client may be required, to delay initial activation for
long enough to allow time for the VPN client to establish a network connection.
These registry entries require a restart of the computer for the updates to take eect.
• Slotted Activation
To enable or disable this feature, create a DWORD with the name SlottedActivation under the following parent key:

Activation Slot - a string that denes the period within which the Dell Encryption client will attempt to activate with the Security
Management Server/Security Management Server Virtual. These values are dened in seconds, and the syntax is dened by
<lowervalue>,<uppervalue>. An example would be 120,300. This means that the Encryption client will attempt to activate at a
random time between 2 minutes and 5 minutes after user login.

override the time period in seconds that the activation slot interval occurs. 25200 seconds are available for slotting activations
during a seven-hour period. The default setting is 86400 seconds, which represents a daily repeat. The suggested decimal value
is 600, which represents 10 minutes.

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\CMGShield\ActivationSlot]
Slot Interval - A string value that denes the intervals between slot activations. The suggested setting is 45,120. This represents
