cannot pick up updated security policies, or activate/reactivate endpoints.

• Dell Compatibility Server
• Dell Compliance Reporter
• Dell Core Server
• Dell Device Server
• Dell Key Server
• Dell Message Broker
• Dell Policy Proxy
• Dell PostgresSQL 10.7
• Dell Security Server
From the Service Panel:
1. Click Start > Run. Type services.msc and click OK.
2. In the Services (Local) window, highlight Dell Compatibility Server. Right-click the entry and
select Stop.
3. Continue in the manner above until all Dell Services are stopped.
