Encryption Client Operating Systems with Deferred Activation
• Deferred activation allows the Active Directory user account used during activation to be independent of the account used to login to
the endpoint. Instead of the network provider capturing the authentication information, the user instead manually species the Active
Directory-based account when prompted. Once the credentials are entered, the authentication information is securely sent to the Dell
Server which validates it against the congured Active Directory domains. For more information, see http://www.dell.com/support/
article/us/en/19/sln306341.
• The following table details supported operating systems with deferred activation.
