Resolved Technical Advisories v7.2.3
Enterprise Edition for Windows
● SDE recovery triggered by changes to the registry no longer occur.
● Performance tuning enhancements were made in this release to improve hibernation file decryption performance.

The access code entry field now only displays during Help Desk Assisted Recovery, as expected.
● Improvements have been made to the Dell Data Protection | Encryption upgrade process.
● Improvements have been made to External Media Edition to improve handling of inaccessible system files, such as locked or
read-only autorun.ini file. [22100]
● The Dell Admin Utilities can now use Kerberos to download encryption keys from the Enterprise Server. [23042]
● When a computer is equipped with a Hardware Crypto Accelerator that is operational and owned, it is not required to use
HCA policies, although it is a best practice. File/folder encryption policies optionally can be used in addition to HCA policies.
[23541]
● When using DropBox, syncing of the CredDB.cef file now works as expected. [23667]

resolved. [23726]

computer with the full Shield installed. [23806]
● Previously, when an auto-authenticated External Media Edition user changed their password and then attempted help desk
assisted recovery, manual authentication would fail. This issue has been resolved. [24025]

Data Protection | Encryption can slot multiple users in Fast User Switching more reliably. [24026, 24034, 24043]
