Managing Windows endpoints

 WinClient

General restrictions

Note the following general restrictions for SafeGuard Enterprise on endpoints:

  • SafeGuard Enterprise for Windows does not support Apple hardware and cannot be installed in a Boot Camp environment. Instead, use a virtual Windows client.
  • The SafeGuard full disk encryption (SafeGuard volume-based encryption and BitLocker support) modules do not support systems that are equipped with hard drives attached through an SCSI bus.
  • Fast User switching is not supported.
  • Operating SafeGuard Enterprise in a terminal server environment is not supported.
  • When using Intel Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) on endpoints with POA, we recommend using slot 0 for the boot hard disk.
  • On Endpoints with POA, SafeGuard volume-based encryption for volumes that are located on Dynamic Disks and on GUID Partition Table disks (GPT) is not supported. In such cases, installations are terminated. If such disks are found on the endpoint, they are not supported.
  • If you want to use SafeGuard volume-based encryption on endpoints with multiple physical disks, you must install the encryption software on the first disk.

  • SafeGuard Full Disk Encryption is only available for Windows 7 BIOS endpoints. If you use Windows 7 UEFI or a newer version of Windows, make use of the integrated Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption functionality. For more information refer to Manage BitLocker Drive Encryption.
