File types which are monitored by System Restore are as specified in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/sr/sr/

monitored_file_extensions.asp. Using System Restore on any of these files which are encrypted by Dell Data Protection |

Encryption can potentially cause corruption. Backup and restoration of Shield-encrypted files should be done at the folder

level and not on an individual file basis. [23437]

Resolved Technical Advisories v7.0.1

Enterprise Edition for Windows

● The communication between the Shield and the Policy Proxy is now encrypted. This prevents exposure to the command

channel and data transported to the Dell Enterprise Server. This is being done in response to increased availability of tools

capable of observing wireless network traffic in the clear. Dell recommends the use of a VPN for all communication with Dell

Enterprise Servers (our own and otherwise), but the additional protection now included offers an encrypted channel for Dell

Enterprise Server contact in the absence of any other measures.

● Windows 7 SP1 has introduced several changes to elements of the Windows operating system that Dell monitors for

malicious behavior. Changes to the Shield have been made in order to prevent potential SDE recovery cases, and to ensure

that performance is not impacted by the volume of file activity caused by the update.

Technical Advisories v7.0/7.0.1

Enterprise Edition for Windows

● Windows Update Issue - This issue is applicable when running 32-bit Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. When

using a policy template other than Basic Protection for System Drive Only and when encryption is managed by the Dell

Enterprise Server, Windows updates may fail and cause Windows to roll back to a previous version update. To resolve this

issue, apply the Basic Protection for System Drive Only template, commit the changes, and re-initiate the Windows update.
