Users Guide

● The issue of BitLocker Manager or computers running DDP|HCA contacting the Server too frequently during encryption
and decryption has been resolved. The Server is contacted only at encryption/decryption completion (or other regularly
scheduled polling intervals). [CSF-243]
● Previously, when installing the SED client or BitLocker Manager, if an external drive (or USB media) was connected during
installation, but disconnected prior to the post-installation restart, the computer would fail to reboot until the external drive
was reconnected. This issue is resolved. [MMW-693/CSF-15, CSF-14]
