Creating an Install Package
| 63
3. Execute the Install Package created by the Endpoint Encryption administrator
on the target computer. This enables and installs Endpoint Encryption for Files
and Folders. Note that you well may distribute the client using any software
distribution tool like Microsoft® System Management Server™ (SMS) or Novell®
ZenWorks™.
4. Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders requires the client computer to restart
before the client will launch.
After the required restart, Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders may require the
user to logon in order to download encryption keys and execute the proper encryption
policy assigned to the user. This forced logon is subject to a policy setting. If the logon
is successful, it will apply the latest policy and start encrypting according to the
centrally defined policy. If the Endpoint Encryption Server cannot be reached, then the
user will not be given any encryption keys and the default policy from which the install
set was created (i.e. a blank policy if not created from a dedicated policy) will be used.
Also, if there is no forced logon, the default policy will be applied.
You can use the same package to install any number of Endpoint Encryption for Files
and Folders clients. Note that if you have created the install set from a particular
policy, the unique settings of that policy will be applied wherever that install set is
executed.
