Configuring ignored devices

 WinClient

  1. In the Policies navigation area, create a new policy of the type General Settings or select an existing one.
  2. Under File Encryption, click the drop-down button of the Ignored Devices field.
  3. In the editor list box:
    1. Select Network if you don't want to encrypt any data on the network.
    2. Enter the required device names to exclude specific devices from encryption. This may be useful when you need to exclude systems from third party suppliers.
      You can display the names of the devices currently used in the system by using the Fltmc.exe control program (fltmc volumes, fltmc instances) from Microsoft, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ifs/development-and-testing-tools .
    You can exclude individual (network) disk drives from encryption by creating a File Encryption rule in a File Encryption policy and set the encryption Mode to Ignore. You can apply this setting only to Windows administered drives and not to macOS volumes.
