encry
ption is disabled, external volumes, volumes with formats other than Mac OS X

Volumes Targeted for Encryption
policy is set to System Volume Only .
Preparing volume for encryption… The client software is currently initiating the encryption process for the volume but has not
begun the encryption sweep.
Volume cannot be resized The client software cannot start encryption because the Volume cannot be resized
appropriately. After receiving this message, contact Dell Pro Support and provide the log files.

nding restart…
Encryption will begin after restart.
Waiting to escrow keys with Dell
Server…
To ensure all encrypted data is recoverable, the client software will not begin the encryption
process until all encryption keys are successfully escrowed to the Dell Enterprise Server. The
client software will poll for Dell Device Server connectivity while in this state until the keys are
escrowed.
Encrypting… An encryption sweep is in progress.
Encrypted The encryption sweep is complete.
Decrypting… A decryption sweep is in progress.
Restoring to original state… The client software is restoring the partition scheme to its original state at the end of the
“Decrypting...” process. This is the decryption sweep equivalent of the “Preparing volume for
encryption” state.
Decrypted The decryption sweep is complete.
User Experience
Force Restart on Policy Updates
True or Fa lse
True
forces a computer restart after the specified delay upon receiving a policy update
requiring a restart. The delay is specified by the Length of Each Restart Delay and Number of
Restart Delays Allowed
policies.
False neither forces nor prompts for a restart. The policy requiring the restart will take effect
the next time the user restarts their computer.
Length of Each Restart Delay If
Force Restart on Policy Updates is set to True , this value is the number of minutes a user can
delay a restart before another restart prompt is displayed.
If
Force Restart on Policy Updates is set to False , this policy is ignored.
The client software displays the restart prompt for five
minutes each time. If the user does not
respond to the prompt, the dialog is dismissed and the next delay begins. If the five minute
timer expires and no restart delays remain, the computer restarts immediately.
Number of Restart Delays Allowed If
Force Restart on Policy Updates is set to True , this value is the number of times a user can
delay a restart. If this policy is set to “0”, the client software prompts the user to restart
immediately and will force the restart if the user does not acknowledge the prompt within five
minutes.
If
Force Restart on Policy Updates is set to False , this policy is ignored.
