Encryption
• The DDP installation process now proceeds normally on laptops connected to a power source, even if the battery charge falls below 10
percent. [27974/DDPC-56]
• Previously, when using Dell Digital Delivery, installation could fail based on the order of installation of Security Tools or the DDP master
installer. Logic has been added to correct this issue. [28070, MMW-293]
• A few previously unlocalized master installer screens are now localized. [28619, 28620, DDPC-73, DDPC-262]

the computer is resolved. [28605, MMW-360]

Technical Advisories v8.4.1
Encryption
• After installation, HCA encryption and the Preboot Authentication environment are not provisioned until after the computer reboots a
second time and the user provides the Encryption Administrator Password. [DDPC-448]
• The Shield does not detect password changes for non-domain accounts when the password is reset from another account. As a result,
when the non-domain user attempts to logon again, the logon fails because the Shield did not synchronize the password change.
[DDPC-490]
Advanced Authentication
• Amended 12/2014 - Fingerprint enrollment does not prevent the user from using ngerprints from dierent ngers when enrolling a
single nger. [MMW-212]
