Resetting a Computer

When the Endpoint Security client is installed on a computer, information about the computer
is sent to and stored on the Endpoint Security Management Server. Resetting a computer
means deleting all information about it from the server. Resetting a computer does not remove
the object from the Users and Computers tree or change its position in the tree.
Important - You can only reset a computer if the Endpoint Security client is not
installed. If you reset a computer that has Endpoint Security installed, important data
will be deleted and the computer can have problems communicating with the
Endpoint Security Management Server.
You might choose to reset a computer if:
n The Endpoint Security Client has been uninstalled or the computer is re-imaged.
n It is necessary to reset the computer's configuration before a new Endpoint Security
Client is installed. For example, if the computer is being transferred to different person.
Computer reset:
n Removes all licenses from the computer.
n Deletes Full Disk Encryption Recovery data.
n Deletes the settings of users that can log on to it.
n Removes the computer from Endpoint Security Monitoring.
n Deletes the Pre-boot settings.
n Is marked as unregistered.
After you reset a computer, you must reformat it before it can connect again to the Endpoint
Security service.
Note - Resetting a Computer is different than deleting it. If you delete a computer,
everything in the databases that is connected to that computer is deleted.
