If the network environment is either unrecognized, or has not been preset, the location must be changed manually. If you cannot perform the following steps, your ZENworks Endpoint Security administrator might have prevented you from changing locations manually. - Page 17 When you are running ZENworks Endpoint Security, files stored on these devices are encrypted as they are accessed by the operating system or the user. Files copied to the device are immediately encrypted. When the removable storage device is connected to a computer not managed by the ZENworks Endpoint Security system, the files remain encrypted and cannot be decrypted.
- Page 18 The amount of time needed to encrypt the files depends upon the amount of data stored on the device. What If I Don’t Want the Device Encrypted? When you insert a removable storage device, the Endpoint Security Client prompts, asking if you want the drive encrypted, or if you prefer to remove it and not encrypt all files.
- Page 19 WARNING: To prevent encryption, remove the drive before clicking Continue. Click Continue to either encrypt the drive or to close the window after removing the device. Password Encrypting Files Your administrator can enable the Security client to create a Password Encrypted Files folder on any removable device that connects to your computer.
