Encryption Client
• The client computer must have network connectivity to activate.
• Turn o sleep mode during the initial encryption sweep to prevent an unattended computer from going to sleep. Encryption cannot
occur on a sleeping computer (nor can decryption).
• The Encryption client does not support dual boot congurations since it is possible to encrypt system les of the other operating
system, which would interfere with its operation.
• The Encryption client has been tested and is compatible with McAfee, the Symantec client, Kaspersky, and MalwareBytes. Hard-coded
exclusions are in place in for these anti-virus providers to prevent incompatibilities between anti-virus scanning and encryption. The
Encryption client has also been tested with the Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit.
If your organization uses an anti-virus provider that is not listed, see http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN288353/ or
