safeguards enterprises from the accidental loss or theft of a laptop or PC and eliminates the legal need for public
disclosure. As part of Symantec Endpoint Encryption, Full Disk leverages existing IT infrastructures for seamless
deployment and operation. This Guide is intended for use by the team of administrators responsible for provisioning
and deploying the system.
This chapter provides you with an overview of Symantec Endpoint Encryption using an architectural diagram and
defines the required system components and software you need prior to installation. The sections are as follows:
“Architecture” on page 1,
“System Requirements” on page 3, and
“Symantec Endpoint Encryption Roles” on page 11.

Installation Guide
Introduction
The Active Directory domain controller and Management Server are required.
Multiple domains, forests, trees, and Management Servers are supported.
A database server is recommended, but the Symantec Endpoint Encryption database can also reside on a Microsoft
SQL Server instance located on the Management Server. If a database server is chosen to host the Symantec Endpoint
Encryption database, the database server can be located inside or outside of Active Directory.
The Manager Console can be installed on multiple Manager Computers. It can also be installed on the Management
Server. It must reside on a computer that is a member of Active Directory.
The Novell eDirectory tree, Active Directory group policy communications, and TLS/SSL encryption are optional.
Installation Sequence
Symantec Endpoint Encryption must be installed in the following sequence:
1. Required account provisioning,
2. SQL Server instance,
3. Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server,
4. Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager, and
5. Symantec Endpoint Encryption client.

Introduction
System Requirements
Basics
One or more Active Directory domains are required for hosting the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management
Server and Manager Computer(s).
Directory Service Integration
Symantec Endpoint Encryption supports synchronization with an Active Directory that has a domain functional level
of Windows 2000 native or higher and a forest functional level of Windows 2000 or higher.
Symantec Endpoint Encryption supports synchronization with Novell eDirectory versions 8.7.3.7 and 8.7.3.9.
The Novell Single Sign-On and Novell directory service synchronization features will only be available for Windows
clients installed with Novell Client 4.91 Service Pack 3 (SP3), Service Pack 4 (SP4), and/or Service Pack 5 (SP5).

SQL Server Instance
The SQL Server instance hosting the Symantec Endpoint Encryption database can reside on a database server or on
the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server. If located on a database server, the database server does not
need to belong to an Active Directory domain. For optimal performance, Symantec recommends storing the data file
and log files on separate physical disks. The disk storing the log files must be formatted with the NTFS file system.

Installation Guide
Introduction
Compatibility Notes
Full Disk relies on the Master Boot Record (MBR). System restore tools that replace the MBR, such as IBM
Rescue and Recover, are not compatible with Full Disk and can cause serious problems if used.
Full Disk relies on its client database files and cannot protect them before Windows has loaded. Boot-time
defragmentation programs will scramble the client database files and prevent the computer from booting.
Contact Symantec technical support before running CHKDSK on your Client Computers.
Ensure that the hard drives of the Client Computers are not encrypted with any other full disk encryption software
before deploying Full Disk. Full Disk will not install on Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Opal-compliant,
self-encrypting drives.
Fast user switching is not supported.
Section 508
Full Disk provides Section 508–compliant text-to-speech capability for its Windows user interface components when
used with JAWS version 9.0.2152 or later.

Introduction
Account Provisioning
Basics
The following tables list the accounts that must be provisioned prior to installation of the Symantec Endpoint
Encryption Management Server, as well as accounts and groups that are optional to deployment.
Required Accounts
The following accounts are required.
Table 1.13—Required Accounts
Account
Description
If you plan to use a SQL authentication for your SQL Server instance, no provisioning is required. The
Management Server installer will create a SQL account for you with execute permissions to the Symantec
Endpoint Encryption database catalog and assign it with the following database roles: db_datareader,
db_datawriter, and public. The SQL account will be used by the Management Server for authentication to
the database. The Management Server will use built-in accounts for the Symantec Endpoint Encryption
Services website and synchronization service communications with the database.
Management Server account
If you plan to use Windows authentication with your SQL Server instance, you must provision a Windows
domain account prior to Management Server installation and perform the procedure outlined in Appendix
D “Mapped Windows Domain Account Privileges” on page 117. The Management Server installer will
map the Windows domain account to a SQL account that has execute permissions to the Symantec
Endpoint Encryption database catalog and the following database roles: db_datareader, db_datawriter, and
public. The Windows account will also be used as a service account for the Symantec Endpoint
Encryption Services website and as a log on account for the synchronization service communications with
the database.
Database creation account
Installing the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server requires an account with Microsoft
SQL Server dbcreator and securityadmin server roles. Either a Windows or an SQL account can be used.
The credentials of this account are only used to authenticate to Microsoft SQL Server for the purposes of
achieving the installation and are not stored or used again.
Database upgrade account
Upgrading the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server requires an account with Microsoft
SQL Server dbcreator and securityadmin server roles. This account must also have db_owner database
role membership for the Symantec Endpoint Encryption database. The credentials of this account are only
used to authenticate to Microsoft SQL Server for the purposes of achieving the upgrade and are not stored
or used again.
IIS client account
Each Client Computer shares a single domain user account to authenticate to IIS on the Symantec
Endpoint Encryption Management Server. No specific privileges are required for this account.
Policy Administrator account
Policy Administrators must be provisioned with read-write access to the Symantec Endpoint Encryption
database. Either a Windows or an SQL account can be used. This account will allow the Policy
Administrator to use the snap-ins of the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager. If you choose to use a
Windows account for database access, a Policy Administrators group may ease administration. See
“Optional Group” on page 11.
Synchronization Accounts
The following accounts are required to enable the optional synchronization feature.
Table 1.14—Synchronization Accounts
Account
Description
Active Directory synchronization account
To enable synchronization with Active Directory, a domain user account is required. The
Active Directory synchronization service uses this account to bind to Active Directory. If the
account does not have domain administrator privileges, you must extend the account
privileges so that they include read permissions to the deleted objects container in Active
Directory. One method of doing so is described in Appendix B “Extending Domain User
Rights with DSACLS” on page 112.
eDirectory synchronization account
To enable synchronization with Novell eDirectory, an eDirectory account with read-only
permissions to the eDirectory tree is required.
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk

Installation Guide
Introduction
Optional Group
The following group may be used to ease the administration of Policy Administrator database accounts, if Windows
authentication is chosen for this purpose. In order to create a domain groups, you will need an account with create
child permissions in Active Directory. Domain local groups can be assigned member permissions only within the
same domain, but can contain accounts or groups from any domain.
Table 1.15—Optional Group
Account
Description
Policy Administrators group
An optional domain local group with read-write permissions to the Symantec Endpoint
Encryption database. It is used for managing Policy Administrator accounts when Windows
authentication to the database is used.
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Roles
Policy Administrator
Policy Administrators perform centralized administration of Symantec Endpoint Encryption. Using the Manager
Console and the Manager Computer, the Policy Administrator:
Updates and sets client policies.
Runs reports.
Changes the Management Password.
Runs the Help Desk Program.
Creates the computer-specific Recover DAT file necessary for Recover /B.
Policy Administrators log on to their workstation using a Windows account. Access to the individual snap-ins of the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager can be restricted by Windows privilege. The Policy Administrator will
require access privileges to the Symantec Endpoint Encryption database (see “Required Accounts” on page 10). The
Policy Administrator’s account privileges are maintained by Windows and Microsoft SQL Server; Symantec
Endpoint Encryption does not manage these accounts.
Policy Administrators should be trusted in accordance with their assigned level of privilege.
Client Administrator
Basics
Client Administrators provide local support to Symantec Endpoint Encryption users.
Client Administrator accounts are created and maintained from the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager. Client
Administrator accounts are managed entirely by Symantec Endpoint Encryption, independent of operating system or
directory service, allowing Client Administrators to support a wide range of users.
Client Administrator passwords are managed from the Manager Console and cannot be changed at the Client
Computer. This single-source password management allows Client Administrators to remember only one password as
they move among many Client Computers.
Windows Client
Client Administrators may be configured to authenticate with either a password or a token.
Each Client Administrator account can be assigned any of the following individual administrative privileges:
Unregister users—allows Client Administrators to unregister registered users from the Administrator Client
Console;
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk
11
Installation Guide
Introduction
Decrypt drives—provides Client Administrators with the right to decrypt encrypted disks and partitions from the
Administrator Client Console or through the use of Recover /D;
Extend lockout—permits Client Administrators to extend the Client Computer’s next communication date using
the Administrator Client Console; and
Unlock—enables Client Administrators to unlock Client Computers that have been locked for failure to
communicate with the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server.
Client Administrators are always able to authenticate to Client Computers.
Client Administrators should be trusted in accordance with their assigned level of privilege.
Each Client Computer must have one default Client Administrator account. The default Client Administrator account
has all administrative privileges and authenticates using a password. Only Client Administrators that authenticate
with a password and have all administrative privileges can perform hard disk recovery. Up to 1024 total Client
Administrator accounts can exist on each Client Computer.
Client Administrator accounts have the following restrictions:
Client Administrators do not have either of the authentication assistance methods (Authenti-Check and One-Time
Password) available.
Client Administrators cannot use Single Sign-On.
Mac Client
Each Mac client has one Client Administrator account. The Client Administrator account will be created as specified
within the client installation package or policy at the time that the encryption of the boot disk is manually initiated on
the Mac endpoint. is specified within the installation package and updated via policy. The Client Administrator
account annot be deleted by the user, ensuring administrative access to the Client Computer. The Client Administrator
authenticates with a password. Privilege level will not affect the Client Administrator on the Mac client. The Client
Administrator account cannot be used to initiate encryption.
User
Basics
Full Disk protects the data stored on the Client Computer by encrypting it and requiring valid credentials to be
provided before allowing Windows to load. Users set their Symantec Endpoint Encryption credentials, which allow
them to power the machine on from an off state and gain access to the operating system. Only the credentials of
registered users and Client Administrators will be accepted by Full Disk.
Mac Client
Upon manual initiation of encryption, a user account must be created. Up to 119 users can be added.
Windows Client
At least one user is required to register with Symantec Endpoint Encryption on each Client Computer. A wizard
guides the user through the registration process, which involves a maximum of five screens. The registration process
can also be configured to occur without user intervention.
Authentication to Full Disk can be configured to occur in one of three ways:
Single Sign-On enabled—The user will be prompted to authenticate once each time they restart their computer.
Single Sign-On not enabled—The user must log on twice: once to Full Disk and then separately to Windows.
Automatic authentication enabled—The user is not prompted to provide credentials to Full Disk; the
authentication process is transparent. This option relies on Windows to validate the user’s credentials.

and apply Symantec Endpoint Encryption native policies to the computers in your organization according to the
directory OUs or containers in which they reside.
Select the Microsoft Active Directory and/or Novell eDirectory check boxes to allow synchronization with the
respective directory service.
The Startup Mode list boxes, along with the Sync Mode list boxes, establish synchronization priority among
multiple Management Servers. If you are planning to deploy an NLB cluster of multiple Management Servers to
provide hot failover capability (see Appendix A “Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server Clusters” on
page 110), you will need to designate one Management Server as the primary synchronizer, and all other Management
Servers as secondary synchronizers. If you only have one Management Server and you select the Microsoft Active
Directory and/or Novell eDirectory check boxes, it will automatically synchronize with the respective directory
service(s) regardless of whether you’ve configured it to act as a primary or secondary synchronizer.
To configure this Management Server to act as a primary synchronizer for Active Directory, select the Microsoft
Active Directory check box, and choose Automatic from the Startup Mode list box.
To configure this Management Server to act as a secondary synchronizer for Active Directory, select the Microsoft
Active Directory check box, and choose Automatic from the Startup Mode list to run the service automatically at
boot time. Choose Manual if you don’t want the service to automatically run and begin synchronization at boot time.
To configure this Management Server to act as a primary synchronizer for eDirectory, select the Novell eDirectory
check box, and choose Automatic from the Startup Mode list box.
To configure this Management Server to act as a secondary synchronizer for eDirectory, select the Novell eDirectory
check box, and choose Automatic from the Startup Mode list to run the service automatically at boot time. Choose
Manual if you don’t want the service to automatically run and begin synchronization at boot time.
When you select both the Microsoft Active Directory and the Novell eDirectory check boxes, the policy precedence
option will be displayed. When Active Directory and eDirectory are both present, a Client Computer can potentially
be a member of both, thus receiving two sets of potentially conflicting Symantec Endpoint Encryption policies. To
mitigate potential policy conflicts, you must choose the directory service whose policies will have priority. Select
either Microsoft Active Directory or Novell eDirectory. Click Next.

Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server
You will use an NLB cluster of Management Servers. You must edit this value on each cluster member so that it
contains the FQDN of the cluster. See “Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server Clusters” on
page 110.
If you intend to use HTTPS communication between Client Computers and the Management Server, this
name must match the common name (CN) specified in the server-side TLS/SSL certificate exactly. Refer to
“Server-Side TLS/SSL Certificate” on page 14.
In the Account Name, Password, and Domain boxes, type the credentials and domain of the IIS client account
(“Required Accounts” on page 10). Leave the HTTP option selected if you do not wish to encrypt client
communications with the Management Server.

Client Computer Communications area.
Type the number of the TCP port on the Management Server that should be used for the unencrypted client
communications in the HTTP Port box. A TCP port for unencrypted communications will be required even if the
HTTPS option is selected. IIS requires this information, but Symantec Endpoint Encryption will not use this port. If
you selected the HTTPS option, type the TCP port on the Management Server that should be used for the encrypted
client communications in the HTTPS Port box.
To select the client-side TLS/SSL certificate Symantec Endpoint Encryption client computers use for encrypted
communication with the Management Server, click the Browse button adjacent to Client-Side TLS/SSL Certificate.
A Choose SSL certificate file dialog will be displayed, listing the certificates available in the personal certificate
store of the local computer (i.e., the Management Server). Navigate to the location of a CER file suitable for use as a
client-side TLS/SSL certificate, then click Open. The certificate hash string will be displayed below the Browse
button.
To select or change the server-side TLS/SSL certificate the web service of the Symantec Endpoint Encryption
Management Server uses for encrypted communication with Symantec Endpoint Encryption client computers, click
the Browse button adjacent to the text Server-Side TLS/SSL Certificate. The Certificate selection dialog will
display a list of certificates found in the local certificate store. Select a certificate suitable for use as a server-side
TLS/SSL certificate, then click OK. The certificate hash string will be displayed below the Browse button.
Selecting the server-side TLS/SSL certificate in the Configuration Manager is equivalent to assigning the
server-side TLS/SSL certificate to the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Services website using the IIS
Manager snap-in.

Console
Overview
The Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager Console can be installed on one or more computers designated as
Manager Computers. The Manager Console is installed in the following sequence:
1. If you plan to encrypt the communication between the Client Computer and the Management Server, you must
ensure that each Manager Computer meets the prerequisites (see “Encrypted Client Computer Communications
Prerequisite” on page 33).
2. Review the system requirements (see Chapter 1 “Manager Computer(s)” on page 4) and ensure that each Manager
Computer is in compliance.
3. Install additional software as per system requirements and enable required features (see “Additional Software/
Required Features” on page 33).
4. Determine whether the Manager Computer is running a 32-bit edition of Windows or a 64-bit edition of
Windows, then run the compatible Manager Console setup packages (see “Manager Console Installation” on
page 36).
Encrypted Client Computer Communications Prerequisite
If you plan to use HTTPS communication between Client Computers and the Management Server, each Manager
Computer must be installed with the same client-side TLS/SSL certificate that was specified during installation of the
Management Server (see Chapter 2 “Client Computer Communications” on page 14). This client-side TLS/SSL
certificate must be installed in the local computer Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store on each
Manager Computer.

Manager Console Snap-In Access Control
Basics
The Manager Console is comprised of both Microsoft and Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-ins. To ensure that
Symantec Endpoint Encryption management facilities are limited only to authorized personnel, Symantec
recommends that you create a default policy that restricts Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-in access. Once this
default policy is in place, Policy Administrators should be assigned access on a per snap-in basis.
Controlling Access to the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Snap-ins
Basics
Controlling access to the Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-ins can be done in two steps:
1. Create a policy which restricts users from running the Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-ins (see “Creating a
Policy that Restricts Access to Snap-ins” on page 46) and/or snap-in extensions (see “Restricting Access to
Snap-in Extensions” on page 47).
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk
45
Installation Guide
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager Console
2. Create a second policy with a higher precedence which permits selected users or groups to run the Symantec
Endpoint Encryption snap-ins and/or snap-in extensions (see “Creating a Policy that Permits Access to Snap-ins”
on page 48).
The “Permitted” policy must be applied at a lower level (i.e., higher precedence) in the Active Directory
container hierarchy than the “Restricted” policy. If both policies are applied to the same OU, make sure that
the “Permitted” policy has a lower link order number (higher precedence) than the “Restricted” policy.
Creating a Policy that Restricts Access to Snap-ins
In the first step, you will create and edit a new GPO, disable the Restricted/Permitted snap-ins settings for all
currently installed Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-ins, and link this GPO at the domain level to prevent all
domain users from running the Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-ins.
1. Open the Manager Console, click the Group Policy Management container and expand the entire container
hierarchy to reveal the Group Policy Objects container. Right-click Group Policy Objects and select New. A
New GPO window displays.
2. Type the name for the GPO and click OK. Right-click the GPO and choose Edit. The GPOE (Group Policy
Object Editor) will open.
3. In the navigation pane on the left side of the GPOE window, expand User Configuration, then Administrative
Templates.
If the Symantec Endpoint Encryption subfolder is already present within the Administrative Templates folder,
skip ahead to step 7. If you have previously accessed an Symantec Endpoint Encryption settings panel within this
GPO, the Symantec Endpoint Encryption templates were loaded automatically.
4. Select the Administrative Templates folder. From the Action menu, choose Add/Remove Templates, and the
Add/Remove Templates window opens.
5. In the Add/Remove Templates window, click Add, and navigate to the local path where the Framework
administrative template is stored:
C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager\Framework\ADM
6. Select the template file EA Framework.adm, click Open, then click Close.
7. With the Framework template now loaded in the GPOE, expand Symantec Endpoint Encryption, expand
Framework, then select Restricted/Permitted Snap-ins. This folder will contain the Extension Snap-ins folder
and several settings panels, one for each Framework snap-in or snap-in extension.
8. In the pane on the right, double-click the item named SEE Software Setup, and the panel properties for that item
opens with the Setting tab shown. Change the option from Not Configured to Disabled, click Apply, then Next
Setting. The next panel in the sequence will appear.
9. Using the Next Setting and Apply buttons, change the options for all six remaining panels to Disabled. Click OK
when finished, and close the GPOE window.
10. Select and drag the GPO onto the OU named Human Resources to link it.

When this policy has been processed on the Client Computers, users that are members of the Human Resources OU
who log on and launch the Manager Console, or launch a custom MMC console containing an Symantec Endpoint
Encryption snap-in, will see a warning screen similar to the following:
Figure 3.12—Restricted Snap-in Warning Screen
After the Manager Console or other MMC console containing the Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-ins has fully
launched, clicking on an individual Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-in produces an error screen similar to the
one shown in the following figure:
Figure 3.13—Restricted Snap-in Error Screen
The error message shown in the figure reflects the fact that this user has been prohibited by policy from accessing the
selected snap-in, the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Software Setup snap-in. Notice also that the Framework and
Full Disk submodules normally located beneath the parent node of the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Software
Setup snap-in are not present in the navigation pane. These submodules extend the functionality of their parent
snap-in, and are called snap-in extensions. If desired, you can restrict access to individual snap-in extensions.
Restricting Access to Snap-in Extensions
The Manager Console is comprised of Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-ins and extensions, as well as Symantec
Endpoint Encryption extensions to Microsoft snap-ins. The Symantec Endpoint Encryption extensions to the
Microsoft Group Policy Management Console snap-in are what enable the Symantec Endpoint Encryption policy
settings panels to appear in the Group Policy Object Editor.
By disabling two of the settings mentioned previously (Symantec Endpoint Encryption Software Setup and Symantec
Endpoint Encryption Group Policy), you can restrict access to both the Framework and Full Disk settings used for
creating Symantec Endpoint Encryption installation settings or policy settings. If for some reason you wish to only
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk

Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager Console
restrict access to a specific snap-in extension, such as the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Software Setup Framework,
create a policy using the following procedure:
1. Open the Manager Console, expand the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) snap-in, select Group
Policy Objects, right-click, and choose New to create a new GPO.
2. Type the name for the new GPO, select it, right-click, and choose Edit. The Group Policy Object Editor (GPOE)
will open.
3. In the navigation pane on the left side of the GPOE window, expand User Configuration, expand
Administrative Templates, expand Symantec Endpoint Encryption, expand Framework, expand Restricted/
Permitted Snap-ins, then select Extension Snap-ins. This folder will contain one settings panel for each of the
Framework snap-in extensions.
4. Double-click the item named Framework Software Setup, and the panel properties for that item opens with the
Setting tab shown.
5. Change the option from Not Configured to Disabled, click Apply, then Next Setting. Click OK when finished,
and close the GPOE window.
6. Finally, select and drag the GPO onto the OU named Human Resources to link it.
When this policy has been processed on the Client Computers, domain users who launch the Symantec Endpoint
Encryption Manager, or who launch a custom MMC console containing the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Software
Setup snap-in, will see the warning and error screens shown earlier.
After the Manager Console or other MMC console containing the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Software Setup
snap-in has fully launched, the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Software Setup snap-in will be available, but the
Framework extension to this snap-in will not be loaded.
When this policy is in effect, domain users will be unable to add any restricted Symantec Endpoint Encryption
snap-ins when creating a custom MMC. Also, domain users will receive the warning and error messages shown
earlier if they attempt to run an Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-in on a computer where the Manager Console
has already been installed, or on a computer where a custom Microsoft Management Console (MMC) has been
created and one or more Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-ins have been added.
Creating a Policy that Permits Access to Snap-ins
With a policy in place which prevents all domain users from running Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-ins, the
second and final step of limiting comprehensive access to the Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-ins requires that
you create a matching policy which is linked at a higher level in the Active Directory object hierarchy. This second
policy overrides the first policy, permitting selected users (Policy Administrators) who are members of that OU to run
Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-ins.
Open the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager, expand the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) snap-in,
select Group Policy Objects, right-click, and choose New to create a new GPO. Type the name for the new GPO,
select it, right-click, and choose Edit. The Group Policy Object Editor (GPOE) will open. In the navigation pane on
the left side of the GPOE window, expand User Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, expand
Symantec Endpoint Encryption, expand Framework, and select Restricted/Permitted Snap-ins. This folder will
contain the Extension Snap-ins folder and several settings panels, one for each Framework snap-in or snap-in
extension.
1. Double-click the item named Symantec Endpoint Encryption Software Setup, and the panel properties for that
item opens with the Setting tab displayed. Change the option from Not Configured to Enabled, click Apply, then
Next Setting.
2. The next panel in the sequence will appear. Using the Next Setting and Apply buttons, change the options for all
three remaining panels to Disabled. Click OK when finished, and close the GPOE window.

3. Next, change the security filtering for this policy so that only Policy Administrators for this OU, HR Admins, will
receive the policy. With the policy still selected, click Remove in the Security Filtering section to remove the
default group, Authenticated Users. Click Add, and in the input field of the window that opens, type “HR”, click
Check Names, and the input field will fill with the HR Admins group name. Click OK.
4. Finally, link this second policy to the same OU as you did the first policy, making sure that the second policy has
a higher order of precedence in the Active Directory object hierarchy. With the policy selected, drag it on top of
the OU named Human Resources, and click OK to confirm policy linking.
5. Select the Human Resources OU, and in the Linked Group Policy Objects tab in the right pane, make sure that
the Link Order of the “Permitted” policy you just created is at a higher precedence (i.e., the link order number is
lower) than the “restricted” policy. If necessary, you can adjust the link order using the up or down arrow buttons
in the area to the left of the Link Order column.
When both the “Restricted” and “Permitted” policies have been successfully processed on the clients, all Policy
Administrator accounts in the Human Resources OU will have full access to the Symantec Endpoint Encryption
snap-ins, and all domain user accounts in the Human Resources OU will be unable to access the Symantec Endpoint
Encryption snap-ins.
Segmenting Support Duties
The ability to restrict access to individual Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-ins allows you to assign the duties of
Symantec Endpoint Encryption support staff in a granular fashion. For example, you could create a custom MMC file
containing only the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Reports snap-in, and distribute this file to select Policy
Administrator accounts which you had restricted from accessing the other Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-ins.
This would allow those Policy Administrator accounts the ability to create Symantec Endpoint Encryption recovery
media (provided they had also been given the Management Password) and view the last check-in time of Symantec
Endpoint Encryption Client Computers, while at the same time preventing them from accessing the Symantec
Endpoint Encryption policy settings panels or allowing them to create Symantec Endpoint Encryption installation
packages.

Client Installation Package Creation
4. Client Installation Package Creation
Overview
The Symantec Endpoint Encryption client installation packages deliver the client software, software upgrades, and
initial settings to Client Computers. The client installation packages consist of four MSIs, one ZIP file (optional), and
two log files. The log files document the contents of the associated MSI and include the date and time that they were
created in their file names.
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Framework Client.msi

If you are using Windows authentication, ensure that you are logged on using the Policy Administrator account (see
“Required Accounts” on page 10). Open the Manager Console.
If the credentials of the user account you are logged on to Windows with are not validated for database access, you
will be prompted to provide the SQL or Windows credentials of the Policy Administrator account (Chapter 1
“Required Accounts” on page 10).
Figure 4.1—SQL Server Logon Information
The Server name and Initial catalog fields will contain the information that was provided when this Manager
Console was installed. In general, you should not modify the default contents of these fields. Circumstances that
require you to edit these entries would be unusual, such as the loss of your primary Symantec Endpoint Encryption
database. In such a situation, you could edit the Server name and Initial catalog fields to connect to a disaster
recovery site. The syntax used in the Server name field is as follows:
computer name,port number\instance name
While the NetBIOS name of the server hosting the Symantec Endpoint Encryption database will always be required,
the TCP port number will only be necessary if you are using a custom port, and the instance name will only be needed
if you are using a named instance. The custom port number would need to be preceded by a comma and the instance
name by a backslash.

Framework Installation Settings Wizard
Basics
Prior to deploying Framework to your clients, you need to run a wizard that lets you select installation settings
specific to Framework. The panels shown by the wizard will differ depending on the authentication method you
choose. When you reach the final panel of the wizard, you will be prompted for a location to save the Framework
client installation settings MSI package.
Client Administrators
In the left pane, expand the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Software Setup container, and click on Framework.
The first wizard screen appears in the right pane of the Manager window.
Use the Client Administrators panel to specify Client Administrator accounts for the computers on which this
software setup package will be installed. When you define a Client Administrator account, you must choose whether
the account uses password or token authentication, and select the privilege of the account. Note that you must specify
at least one password-based Client Administrator account with full privileges, known as the default Client
Administrator account.
Only the default Client Administrator account will be included in your Mac client installation package.
For more information on adding or removing Client Administrators following the deployment of the initial
installation package, refer to the Policy Administrator Guide.

Authentication Method
The first option on this panel allows you to define how users authenticate to Symantec Endpoint Encryption.
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk
53
Installation Guide
Client Installation Package Creation
Select Do not require registered users to authenticate to Symantec Endpoint Encryption to enable automatic
authentication. This option is designed for kiosk environments. If it is selected, users will not need to provide
valid credentials to Full Disk before Windows loads and your organization will rely on Windows for user
authentication. It will reduce the security of the Client Computer but increase the transparency of the user
experience. The registration process will be silent and automatic as well—unless a registration password is
specified (see next section). Coupling automatic authentication with a registration password serves to avoid
reaching the maximum registered user limit and to limit the number of users that can gain access to the User
Client Console. When you select Do not require registered users to authenticate to Symantec Endpoint
Encryption, the Single Sign-On and Authentication Assistance panels will be skipped in the sequence of
wizard panels.
Select Require registered users to authenticate with to specify using the drop-down menu whether users
authenticate to Symantec Endpoint Encryption with a password, a token, or either. The drop-down menu will be
unavailable if password authentication was selected when the Manager Console was installed. Note that when
Single Sign-On is active (“Single Sign-On” on page 55), the authentication method chosen for Symantec
Endpoint Encryption must match the method specified in Windows.
Registration
The Registration section defines which users will be allowed to become Symantec Endpoint Encryption registered
users. To allow any Windows user the ability to register, click the option Any Windows user can be registered for a
SEE account. To allow only those users who know a special registration password to be able to register, click Users
must know this password to register, and type the password in the adjacent field and again to confirm. Each user
will be required to know the administrator-defined registration password before they can register for a Symantec
Endpoint Encryption account.
Specify the maximum number of Symantec Endpoint Encryption registered user accounts which can be created on
each computer. New users will not be permitted to register after the maximum number of accounts has been reached.
Specify a custom message users will see when they are forced to register after grace restarts expire. The custom
message can be from 0–900 characters in length, or you can use the default message. Note that the custom
registration message field ignores any carriage returns you type or paste in.
Specify the number of grace restarts, i.e., the number of times, from 0–99, that the computer can restart before the
first user who logs on will be forced to register for a Symantec Endpoint Encryption account and see the custom
registration message. This setting can effectively allow users to defer registration. To force the first user to register
immediately, set this value to zero.
Unregistration
Unregistration selects whether to allow users to only be unregistered manually by Client Administrators, or whether
to also automatically unregister users who do not log on after a specified period, from 1–365 days. This setting is
useful in a kiosk environment where many infrequent users can fill up the maximum number of available Symantec
Endpoint Encryption accounts on a given computer. Use caution with this setting so that users do not have their
accounts deleted unexpectedly.
Next Button
If you chose token or password authentication, clicking Next will advance to the Single Sign-On panel discussed in
the next section. If you chose automatic authentication, clicking Next will advance to the Communication panel (see

Your selection in this panel will not be included in the Mac client installation package.
Figure 4.5—Framework Installation Settings, Single Sign-On
Use the Single Sign-On panel to control the Single Sign-On feature. The Single Sign-On feature allows users to
authenticate to both Symantec Endpoint Encryption and Windows at the same time allowing them to access the User
Client Console without an additional logon. This installation setting can be changed later using a policy.
To enable Single Sign-On, select the Enable Single Sign-On check box.
Click Next to advance to the next panel.
Password Authentication
Use the Password Authentication panel, shown in Figure 4.6, to specify password-related settings, including whether
to impose a delay when a user types an incorrect password during Symantec Endpoint Encryption authentication.
When Single Sign-On is not used, you may specify that Symantec Endpoint Encryption passwords be managed

according to a number of criteria, including password age, reuse of previous passwords, and password complexity.
When Single Sign-On is enabled, only the settings in the Password attempts area will be enforced.
Only the settings in the Password Complexity area will be included in the Mac client installation package.
Figure 4.6—Framework Installation Settings, Password Authentication
Under Password Attempts, select the Limit password and Authenti-Check attempts check box to set the number
of incorrect passwords or Authenti-Check answers a user can type in succession before the system will introduce a

Password Complexity—These include the minimum number of characters users’ Symantec Endpoint Encryption
passwords must contain, the set of non-alphanumeric characters users may have in their passwords, as well as the
minimum number of non-alphanumeric characters, uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and digits users must have
in their passwords.
Maximum Password Age—Leave this option at the default to not set an expiration date on user passwords. If
you select the option to set an expiration date on user passwords, type the number of days after which users’
passwords will expire, and type the number of days in advance users will be prompted to change their expiring
passwords.
Password History—Leave this option at the default to allow users to use any previously-used Symantec
Endpoint Encryption password, or select the other option and type the number of different passwords users must
use before reverting to old passwords.
Minimum Password Age—Leave this option at the default to allow users to change their Symantec Endpoint
Encryption passwords as frequently as they wish, or select the other option and type the minimum number of days
that must pass before users can change their passwords. Note that leaving this option at the default will effectively
override the password history feature, since a user could quickly cycle through the required number of new
passwords in order to keep an old, favorite password.
Click Next to advance to the next panel.
Token Authentication
Use the Token Authentication panel shown in Figure 4.7 to control whether expired token certificates are allowed for
authentication to Symantec Endpoint Encryption.
Your selection in the Token Authentication panel will not be included in the Mac client installation package.

Communication
Use the Communication panel (see Figure 4.11) to specify how often client status data is reported, the Management
Server that clients will report to, the shared domain account used for client-server communication, and the client-side
certificate used for encrypted communication.
The settings from the Communications panel will be included in the Mac client installation package.
Figure 4.11—Framework Installation Settings, Communication
In the Communication area, specify the interval, in minutes, at which the Symantec Endpoint Encryption client
reports any changes to its status data to the selected Management Server.
The Communication information area will update to reflect the configuration information of the currently selected
Management Server. Use Connection Name to select from a list of available Management Servers, including any
you have configured as an NLB cluster.
Management Servers configured into an NLB cluster will be displayed in Connection Name using the
FQDN of the cluster, for example, cluster1.your-org.com. This FQDN must match the FQDN specified in the
server-side TSL/SSL certificate installed on all cluster members.
Server displays the URL of the web service running on the selected Management Server, including its NetBIOS
name or FQDN and port number. This value is set during the installation of the Management Server (“Web Service
Configuration” on page 29) and can be modified later using the Configuration Manager (“Web Server Configuration”
on page 109). If the URL prefix is HTTP, it indicates that unencrypted client-server communication will be used. If
the URL pre-fix is HTTPS, it indicates that encrypted client-server communication will be used. A hash of the
client-side TLS/SSL certificate retrieved from the Symantec Endpoint Encryption database will be displayed in the
Certificate Hash section.

Saving the Framework Client Installer MSI
You will next be presented with the Save MSI package dialog prompting you for a location to save the Framework
Client installers that reflect the settings you have just made.
Figure 4.13—Save MSI Package, Framework Client
You must save the Framework installation packages in a shared network location such as the domain controller’s
SYSVOL folder if you intend to deploy the Symantec Endpoint Encryption client installer packages using a Software
Installation GPO.
Because you cannot load a previously created client installer package to examine what settings were used,
you should save each client installer package using a descriptive name, such as “Framework Client Installer
for Sales OU (27-Mar-08)”. This is especially helpful if you plan to deploy multiple sets of packages
throughout your organization.
To help manage installation packages, the individual settings chosen for a given installation package are saved in a
date and time stamped log file (Example: FrameworkSettings 6_28_2010-18.21.59.log). The log file is created in the
same location that you specified when saving the package. Since the log file does not show the contents of completed
password fields, all passwords you specify in an installation package should be separately recorded and stored in a
secure location.
Navigate to the directory location in which you want to save the output MSI packages and type the new MSI package
name, or accept the default name Symantec Endpoint Encryption Framework Client.msi and click Save. Two MSI
packages will be saved: one for 32-bit editions of Windows and one for 64-bit editions of Windows. The 64-bit
package will be appended with _x64. Click Yes to create the MSI packages, then click OK in the confirmation dialog

warning to those attempting to access a protected computer. If you do not select a custom image, the Symantec
Endpoint Encryption logo will be used.
Note that a custom image can only be deployed as an installation setting, and cannot be added later on with a policy
setting. A custom image could be effectively hidden at a later time by pushing out a Startup policy that causes the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption logo to be displayed instead.
Guidelines for Creating a Custom Startup Image
Any image editing application which saves graphics files in the Windows Bitmap (BMP) or Portable Network
Graphics (PNG) format can be used to create a custom image. One such application, Microsoft Paint (mspaint.exe), is
included with Windows.
The dimensions of the custom image must be between 640 x 480 (VGA resolution) and 800 x 600 (SVGA resolution)
pixels.
While the custom image can have a color depth of 8-bit (256-color or grayscale) or 24-bit (millions of colors), there is
no guarantee that the display adapter of a Client Computer will start up in the highest color depth it supports. A high
bit-depth (24-bit) startup image may appear distorted when a Client Computer starts up in a lower color depth mode.
For this reason, you may wish to limit the color depth of your custom image to 8-bit for maximum compatibility.
The custom image file must be no larger than 2,000,000 bytes in size.
16-bit color mode images are not supported.
Windows bitmap files must be saved as uncompressed. OS/2 BMP formats are not supported.
If the user authenticates with a password, your custom image must contain text directing the user to press the
CTRL+ALT+DELETE keys to log on to the computer. If you omit these instructions, the user may be unsure
of how to log on.
Select the Enable Safe Mode Boot for registered users check box to allow registered users to start their desktop
computers in safe mode.

Use the Logon History settings panel to specify whether to prefill the Symantec Endpoint Encryption logon screen
with the name and domain of the most recently logged on user.
The settings from the Logon History panel will not be included in the Mac client installation package.
Figure 4.15—Full Disk Installation Settings, Logon History
Selecting the User name check box allows users to see the name and domain of the last user who logged on at the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption pre-Windows logon screen. This will reduce the security of your Client Computers,
so Symantec recommends deselecting both the User name and Domain check boxes.
If you are deploying Full Disk to computers operated by visually impaired users who will be using audio cues
in pre-Windows, ensure that the User name check box is deselected and that the Domain check box is
selected. This will allow the user to log on using the audio cues.

encryption/decryption time. This panel also allows you to specify whether registered users will be allowed to decrypt
an encrypted disk or partition.
On the Mac, encryption must be initiated manually, using a user account. The settings in the Encryption panel will not
be included in the Mac client installation package.
Figure 4.16—Full Disk Installation Settings, Encryption
The Disk Drives section allows you to choose whether to encrypt just the boot disk or all of the fixed disks that reside
on the Client Computer.
The Disk Partitions section lets you specify the partitions on the specified drive(s) that should be encrypted, or
whether to leave it up to the user.
Select the Encrypt all partitions upon installation option to ensure that all partitions on the specified drive(s)
are encrypted. Encryption will begin as soon as the computer reboots after installation.
Select the Encrypt these partitions upon installation option to specify up to 26 individual partitions to encrypt,
from A–Z. Encryption will begin as soon as the computer reboots after installation.
Select the Let users choose partitions and start the encryption option, users can select the individual partitions

Use the Local Decryption area to specify whether registered users are allowed to decrypt local disk partitions. Select
the Registered users can decrypt disks and partitions option in the Local Decryption section to allow registered
users will be able to decrypt disks or partitions by accessing the Decryption panel of the User Client Console.
Use the Advanced Options area to select whether to encrypt all portions of the drive including empty sectors and
sectors containing deleted data. If you select this option, the entire disk or partition will be encrypted, including any
disk sectors marked as unused, but which may still contain previously erased data. Use this option when deploying
Full Disk to computers which have already been in service and whose hard disk sectors may contain deleted data.
This option increases the amount of time necessary to complete the initial encryption operation. Click Show More to
reveal the following advanced options:
Include unused disk space when encrypting partitions ensures that all of the partition sectors will be
encrypted, including any marked as “unused” that may still contain previously erased data. This setting increases
the amount of time necessary to complete the initial encryption operation. Keep this option on for recipient
computers that have already been in service. You may turn it off if the recipient computers are new.
Double-write sectors during partition encryption or decryption guards against the remote possibility of losing
a single data sector if power to the hard disk is interrupted at the exact moment the disk is physically writing to the
sector. Selecting this option causes every data sector to be double-written during partition encryption or
decryption and requires ten to twenty times as long to complete. Note that selecting this option does not affect the
performance of on-the-fly encryption and decryption. Power loss protection is always enabled during partition
encryption and decryption, and is not affected by this option. Should the computer power down or enter sleep or
hibernation mode, the encryption or decryption process will continue automatically when power is restored.
Protect against cold boot attack addresses a type of side channel attack in which an attacker with physical
access to a computer is able to retrieve encryption keys from a running operating system by cold booting the
machine. The attack relies on the data remanence property of DRAM and SRAM to retrieve memory contents
seconds to minutes after power has been removed.

5. Client Installations
Overview
Basics
This section describes how to install a new deployment of the Symantec Endpoint Encryption client software.
Windows Clients
Client installation can be accomplished from either a central location (see “Deploying Client Installer Packages” on
page 74) or from the local computer (see “Manual Windows Client Installations” on page 77).
You can install the Symantec Endpoint Encryption client software using any of the following methods:
Installation using a third-party deployment tool (recommended) (“Third-Party Tool Deployment” on page 74),
Installation from Active Directory using a software installation computer policy (“Group Policy Deployment” on
page 75), or
Manual installation by double-clicking the client installer packages at the Client Computer (“Manual Windows
Client Installations” on page 77).
MSI packages represent a target for analysis in that they are unencrypted and can be intercepted in transit. Symantec
recommends using a third party deployment tool with features to protect the MSI packages.
At the conclusion of the installation package creation wizard, two MSI packages will be created. Both will contain
the same settings, but one will be appropriate for 64-bit systems and the other appropriate for 32-bit systems. The
package appropriate for 64-bit systems will contain _x64 at the end of its file name, e.g., Symantec Endpoint
Encryption Framework Client_x64.msi. You can either deploy both packages to all clients or deploy 32-bit packages
to 32-bit clients and 64-bit packages to 64-bit clients. A Symantec Endpoint Encryption client installer package will
fail to install on a computer running an incompatible version of Windows.
Regardless of the deployment method, the Framework client installer package must be installed before the Full Disk
package.
Symantec recommends that you defragment all fixed disks and partitions on the Client Computer prior to
installation of Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk.
Mac Clients
The Mac client installation package must be executed from the Mac client (“Manual Mac Client Installations” on
page 73 for instructions).
Manual Mac Client Installations
To install Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk on a Mac client, complete the following steps.
1. Ensure that the Mac client can access the Mac client installation package (Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full
Disk Edition Client_MAC.zip), either by placing it on a network share or on removable media.
2. Log on to the Mac client using an account with administrative privileges.
3. Close all applications.
4. Double-click the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk Edition Client_MAC.zip file.
5. Open the pgpdesktop directory.

6. Double-click PGP.pkg.
7. Click through the pages of the installation wizard.
8. Provide administrative credentials when prompted.
9. You will be notified that the computer will be restarted to complete the installation. Click Continue Installation.
10. Once the installation concludes successfully, click Restart.
11. You may receive a Certificate Trust prompt after the Mac restarts. Provide administrative credentials and accept
the changes.
Deploying Client Installer Packages
Third-Party Tool Deployment
Basics
Installation of the Symantec Endpoint Encryption client packages can be accomplished using any third-party
deployment tool that supports the MSI format. To avoid installation errors, make sure that when you create the client
installer packages that you save them to a local hard disk or other volume which has Full Control permissions set.
The client installer packages can then be copied to removable media, a network volume accessible to the client, or the
local hard disk of the Client Computer. For large scale deployments, you can use the command-line method as a basis
for scripted installations.
Framework must be installed first.
Syntax
To execute the appropriate MSI, the following syntax should be used:
MSIEXEC /i "[path]\name of client installation package.msi" parameter
Table 5.1 on page 74 describes the parameters and variables in greater detail.
Table 5.1—MSIEXEC Variables and Parameters

Group Policy Deployment
This section describes how to use Active Directory’s software distribution capabilities to push client installation
packages out to the Client Computers for automatic installation.
When using Active Directory to deploy the client installer packages, they must be installed as part of a
software installation computer policy and not as part of a software installation user policy.
When using Active Directory to deploy client installer packages, you must create separate GPOs for 32-bit
and 64-bit packages. Never mix 32-bit and 64-bit client packages in the same GPO.
1. Open the Manager Console. In the left-hand navigation pane, click the Group Policy Management container and
expand the entire container hierarchy to reveal the Group Policy Objects container.
2. Right-click Group Policy Objects and select New. A New GPO window displays. Type SEE Client Installer
Packages in the Group Policy Object box and click OK to save the new policy. Right-click the new policy and
choose Edit. The Group Policy Object Editor will display.
3. Expand Computer Configuration, Software Settings, then Software installation.
4. Right-click Software Installation and select New then Package. Click My Network Places, and navigate to the
Microsoft Windows Network\your-org\Cadc-01\SYSVOL location or alternate location where you previously
saved the two Symantec Endpoint Encryption client packages.
If you do not select the install packages by navigating to them using My Network Places, Client Computers
receiving the policy will be unable to locate the install packages and the software installation policy will fail
to be applied.
5. Select the Framework Client package, and click Open.
6. A confirmation screen will appear. Click OK to accept the default value of Assigned for that package.
7. Right-click Software Installation and select New then Package. Click My Network Places, and navigate to the
Microsoft Windows Network\your-org\Cadc-01\SYSVOL location or alternate location where you previously
saved the two Symantec Endpoint Encryption client packages.
8. Select the Full Disk Client package, and click Open.
9. A confirmation screen will appear. Click OK to accept the default value of Assigned for that package.

Figure 5.2—Changing the Scope of the Software Installation Policy
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk
76
Installation Guide
Client Installations
The new Group Policy, SEE Client Installer Packages, is now linked to the domain your-org.com as shown in
Figure 5.2.
Once the software installation GPO has been linked, it can take between 90 and 120 minutes before it is processed by
a Client Computer connected to the domain. In addition to this policy processing delay, the Client Computer must be
restarted to begin the installation.
Some users simply log off rather than perform a complete shut down, resulting in computer policies not being
fully processed. Best practices can help mitigate this condition. For example, you can implement scripts to
either periodically restart the Client Computer during off-peak hours or when a user logs off.
To accelerate the GPO update process and to initiate a manual restart, refer to the Policy Administrator Guide.
After the software installation computer policy has been applied and the Client Computer has been restarted, the
Framework and the Full Disk installations will begin.
Depending on the MSIEXEC parameters specified, the Client Computer can automatically restart when the client
packages have finished installing.
Manual Windows Client Installations
Basics
In cases where only a few clients need to be installed or an infrastructure-based deployment is impractical, the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption client software can be manually installed on individual Client Computers by
executing the Framework and then the Full Disk client installer packages.
1. Determine whether the Client Computer is running a 32-bit version of Windows or a 64-bit version of Windows.
2. Locate the Framework and Full Disk client installation packages appropriate to the version of Windows running
on the Client Computer. The package appropriate for 64-bit systems will contain _x64 at the end of its file name,
e.g., Symantec Endpoint Encryption Framework Client_x64.msi.
3. Ensure that the client installation packages are accessible to the Client Computer, either from a network share or
removable media.
4. Log on to the target computer using an administrator account possessing sufficient rights for installing software.

Installation Guide
Upgrades
From Versions that Utilize an ADAM Database
Basics
If you are upgrading from a version that utilizes an ADAM database, you must migrate critical encryption keys from
the SEE Server or GuardianEdge Server (ADAM) to the Symantec Endpoint Encryption database (SQL).
If you do not successfully migrate the encryption keys from the SEE Server/GuardianEdge Server to the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption database before creating client upgrade packages, your upgraded clients will
be unable to communicate with the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server.
The steps for upgrading the SEE Server/GuardianEdge Server to the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management
Server follow:
1. Ensure that your SEE Server/GuardianEdge Server is and remains operational throughout the procedure.
2. Install the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server (Chapter 2 “Symantec Endpoint Encryption
Management Server” on page 14).
3. Copy the key exporter script from the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server to the SEE Server or
GuardianEdge Server.
4. If your database creation account (Chapter 1 “Required Accounts” on page 10) is a Windows account, log on to
the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server using this account.
5. Run the key exporter script.
6. Verify that the critical keying data was successfully migrated to the Symantec Endpoint Encryption database.
7. Install the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager, and create and deploy the client upgrade packages.
The remainder of this section details how to run the key exporter script and verify its success (steps 4 and 5).
Prerequisites
Your default script host must be set to either cscript or wscript. Before running the script, make sure you have the
following information:
The NetBIOS name or IP address of the computer hosting the Symantec Endpoint Encryption database;
If the default instance name was not used during installation of Microsoft SQL Server, the name that was used;
The ADAM Admin credentials of your existing ADAM-based SEE Server or GuardianEdge Server;
The Windows or SQL credentials of a user with administrative privileges for the Symantec Endpoint Encryption
database;
The port number of the ADAM instance;
The distinguished name (DN) of the ADAM instance’s application partition.
Running the Key Exporter Script
The key exporter script must be run from the ADAM-based SEE Server or GuardianEdge Server. Do not run the key
exporter script multiple times. The script should be run only once.
1. Log on to the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server and locate the key exporter script,
KeyExport.vbs.
On 32-bit versions of Windows Server, the script will be located in C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec
Endpoint Encryption Management Server\Services.
On 64-bit versions of Windows Server, the script will be located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec

If the dbo.GEMSDeploymentKeys table did not get created in the SEEMSDb database, do not run the key
export script a second time. Contact Symantec technical support for instructions on how to proceed.
With the migration of the key info from the ADAM-based SEE Server or GuardianEdge Server to the Symantec
Endpoint Encryption database now complete, you can continue on to the installation of the Manager Console and the
creation and deployment of the client upgrade packages. At this time, you should also perform a backup of the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption database.
If you are prompted for the Management Password during an install or upgrade of the Symantec Endpoint
Encryption Manager, it means that the key export operation failed. Contact Symantec technical support for
instructions on how to proceed.
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager
Basics
Review the following important points before upgrading the Manager Computer:
Determine whether the Manager Computer is running a 32-bit Edition of Windows or a 64-bit Edition of
Windows, then select the compatible Manager Console package versions. 64-bit installer packages can be
identified by the file name suffix x64.
The latest version of Framework is only compatible with the latest versions of Full Disk and Removable Storage.
All three must be upgraded.
You should always be running the latest version of the Manager Console on all Manager Computers.
Framework must always be upgraded first.
Version Number Determination
1. Open the Manager Console. In the navigation pane on the left, expand Symantec Endpoint Encryption
Software Setup and click Framework. On the Help menu, click About Framework.
2. The About Framework window displays showing the current version of the Framework component.

Framework Upgrade
1. Before starting the upgrade, close all instances of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) currently running
on the Manager Computer you are upgrading.
2. Transfer the installer packages comprising the latest release of the Manager Console (Symantec Endpoint
Encryption Framework.msi and Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk Edition.msi, or if you are installing the
64-bit package versions, Symantec Endpoint Encryption Framework x64.msi and Symantec Endpoint Encryption
Full Disk Edition x64.msi), along with any other Manager Console components you want to install, to removable
media or a designated network share.
3. Log on to the Manager Computer using an administrator account possessing sufficient rights for installing
software.
4. Locate the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager installer packages on the removable media or network share
and copy them to the local hard disk.
5. With the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager installer packages copied to the Manager Computer, upgrade
Framework first by double-clicking the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Framework.msi or invoking the Windows
Installer with the following command-line parameters:
MSIEXEC /i "[path]\Symantec Endpoint Encryption Framework[ x64].msi" REINSTALL="ALL"
REINSTALLMODE="vomus"
Substitute [path] with the actual path on the Manager Computer where the package was copied to, and where
[ x64] optionally specifies the 64-bit package version.
Full Disk Upgrade
Upgrade Full Disk by double-clicking the MSI that is appropriate to the operating system.
If the operating system is 32-bits, double-click Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk Edition.msi.
If the operating system is 64-bits, double-click Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk Edition x64.msi.
Alternatively, you can perform the upgrade from the command line using the following parameters:
MSIEXEC /i "[path]\Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk Edition[ x64].msi" REINSTALL="ALL"
REINSTALLMODE="vomus"
Substitute [path] with the actual path on the Manager Computer where the package was copied to, and where
[ x64] optionally specifies the 64-bit package version.

Installation Guide
Upgrades
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Client Computers
Basics
Whenever you are upgrading Client Computers, you must first upgrade the Framework module prior to upgrading
other modules.
The Encryption Anywhere brand was phased out on August 28, 2007. If you have any Encryption Anywhere
clients, before attempting to upgrade to this release, ensure that the following minimum version is installed:
Encryption Anywhere Hard Disk 8.2.0.
The latest version of Framework is only compatible with the latest versions of Full Disk and Removable Storage. All
three must be upgraded.
To upgrade a client, perform the following steps:
1. Launch the latest version of the Manager Console.
2. Step through the client installation package creation wizard. Most of the settings chosen when creating the client
upgrade package will overwrite the existing installation settings, except for the following:
Framework Installation Settings – Encryption,
Full Disk Installation Settings – Encryption, and
Full Disk Installation Settings – Installer Customization.
If the upgrade package contains a change to the user’s method of authentication and a policy is not in effect on the
client, the user may be forced to re-register following the application of the upgrade package. See the Policy
Administrator Guide for details on the user’s experience following a change in authentication method.
3. Save the client installation package to a local or network volume with Full Control permissions set in the
properties sheet. This ensures the success of the upgrade package, as it will retain the Windows permissions of the
location to which it is saved. Two MSI packages will be saved: one for 32-bit versions of Windows and one for
64-bit versions of Windows.
4. Deploy the MSI appropriate to the version of Windows running on the Client Computer. Three methods are
discussed in the following sections:
Installation using a third-party deployment tool (“Third Party Tool” on page 88);
Installation from Active Directory as an upgrade to an existing software installation computer policy (“GPO”
on page 89); or
Manual installation using a Windows Installer command line at the Client Computer (“Manual” on page 91).
When upgrading clients created from a serverless installation of the Manager Console to clients created from
a default mode installation of the Manager Console, ensure that the Full Disk Client Monitor lockout policy
is not enforced on those clients prior to performing the upgrade. If a lockout policy is in effect, the client
machines could be subject to lockout immediately after the upgrade.
Third Party Tool
Basics
Ensure that the packages reside in a location that is accessible to the recipient computers.
Syntax
To execute the appropriate MSI, the following syntax should be used:
MSIEXEC /i "[path]\name of client upgrade package.msi" parameter

MSIEXEC /i "\\CADC-01\SYSVOL\PACKAGES\Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk Edition
Client_x64.msi" REINSTALL="ALL" REINSTALLMODE="vomus"
GPO
The method described here assumes that you deployed the Symantec Endpoint Encryption client installer packages as
part of a Software Installation GPO using Active Directory, and that the policy is still in place. Do not manually
upgrade a GPO deployment of Symantec Endpoint Encryption client installer packages, and do not upgrade a manual
deployment of Symantec Endpoint Encryption client installer packages using a Software Installation GPO.
Windows 2000 computers installed with Symantec Endpoint Encryption software deployed using a GPO
cannot be upgraded using the method described here. To upgrade Windows 2000 computers, you must
replace the original client package referenced by the GPO with the new upgrade package, making sure that
the two file names are identical. To complete the upgrade process, you must edit the GPO, right click the
client package, choose All Tasks, click Redeploy application, then close the GPO editor to apply the policy.
Note that the product name and version information shown in the GPO editor will reflect those of the original
package and not the upgrade package.
Because the upgrade involves creating a new set of client installer packages, you will need the following credentials
to be able to complete the Framework Installation Settings Wizard:
Credentials of the Policy Administrator account, and
Credentials of the IIS client account.
You will create a new set of client installer packages for upgrading the existing client installer packages. As you did
with the existing client installer packages, you will save the new set of client installer packages to the SYSVOL
folder where they will be referenced by the software installation GPO. This will allow all Client Computers
processing the policy to be able to access and apply the client installer upgrades.
Always deploy the Symantec Endpoint Encryption client installer packages as part of a software installation
computer policy and never as a software installation user policy.

Encryption Plus Hard Disk Migration
7. Encryption Plus Hard Disk Migration
Overview
This release of Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk features the ability to migrate Encryption Plus Hard Disk
clients. The migration process is a seamless process very similar to an upgrade and does not require decryption of the
clients or uninstallation of Encryption Plus Hard Disk. Following a successful migration, users will be prompted to
register with Full Disk.
The Encryption Plus Management Console Client will be uninstalled following a successful migration, as it will
become irrelevant in the context of Full Disk.
The steps to migrate are as follows:
1. Inventory your system and ensure that it complies with the system requirements (Chapter 1 “System
Requirements” on page 3).
2. Provision the required accounts (Chapter 1 “Required Accounts” on page 10).
3. Install the Management Server (Chapter 2 “Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server” on page 14).
4. Install the Manager Console (Chapter 3 “Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager Console” on page 33).
5. Create and deploy your client migration packages (discussed in this chapter and in Chapter 5 “Client
Installations” on page 73).
Client Migration Package Preparation
No Encryption Plus Hard Disk User Program Setup settings will be recognized or carried forward during migration.
Encryption Plus Hard Disk event logs will not be migrated to Full Disk.
You must specify your desired settings manually when creating the client migration packages. Use the Client
Installation Package Creation snap-in to specify the client settings (Chapter 4 “Client Installation Package Creation”
on page 50).
Encryption Plus Hard Disk clients that are encrypted will remain encrypted at the encryption strength that they were
encrypted with. The Full Disk advanced encryption options (Chapter 4 “Encryption” on page 62) will only be used if
the Client Computer is decrypted and re-encrypted.
Client Migration Package Deployment
Once you have created your client migration packages, apply them to your Encryption Plus Hard Disk Clients using
your choice of MSI distribution methods: third party tool, Active Directory, or manual. Refer to Chapter 5
“Deploying Client Installer Packages” on page 74 and Chapter 5 “Manual Windows Client Installations” on page 77
for detailed instructions on each method.

Mac Client Computer
To uninstall Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk from a Mac, log on to the Mac using an account with
administrative credentials. If the disk is not already decrypted, decrypt it.
Open the PGP application by clicking the PGP toolbar menu icon or from the Applications folder.
Select Uninstall from the PGP menu.
Provide administrative credentials if prompted.
Windows Client Computer
Basics
When uninstalling client installer packages, Symantec Endpoint Encryption Framework must be uninstalled last.
Before you begin, ensure that all fixed disks are fully decrypted. Should an unavoidable issue prevent you
from decrypting a secondary drive, a manual uninstallation will be necessary. See “Manual” on page 99.
For information on how to remotely decrypt all fixed disks and partitions on the Client Computer using a policy, refer
to the Policy Administrator Guide. For information on how a Client Administrator can decrypt fixed disks and
partitions locally, refer to the Client Administrator Guide.
If this is a Symantec Endpoint Encryption managed computer, you should manually delete it from the
Manager Console following uninstallation. See the Policy Administrator Guide for more details.
Third Party Tool
Uninstallation of the Symantec Endpoint Encryption client packages can be accomplished using any third-party
deployment tool that supports the MSI format.
For large scale deployments, you can use the command-line method as a basis for scripted upgrades.
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk
98
Installation Guide
Uninstallation
For example, you could create a batch file to invoke the Windows Installer (msiexec.exe). This batch file would
contain the following lines:
MSIEXEC /x "[path]\Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk Edition Client[_x64].msi"
REBOOT=ReallySuppress
MSIEXEC /x "[path]\Symantec Endpoint Encryption Framework Client[_x64].msi"
REBOOT=ReallySuppress
where [path] is the actual path on the Client Computer where the package was copied to, and where [_x64] optionally
specifies the 64-bit package version.
Uninstallation will fail if all drives are not fully decrypted.
Client Packages Deployed Using a GPO
As is true of any software deployed using a Software Installation GPO, client packages should never be uninstalled
manually at the client. Packages deployed using a Software Installation GPO should only be uninstalled by removing
or changing the scope of the Software Installation GPO. Attempting to remove GPO-deployed client packages by
manually uninstalling the packages using the Add or Remove Programs control panel on the client while the
Software Installation GPO is still in effect will result in the packages being reinstalled at the next restart. Further
attempts to uninstall the client packages will result in an error. As a best practice, you should set the appropriate
Windows policies to prevent users from manually removing the client packages.
Uninstallation will fail if all drives are not fully decrypted.
Manual
Basics
As long as the client was not deployed by GPO, it can be uninstalled manually from the local workstation through
Windows Add/Remove Programs.
If some unavoidable issue prevents you from decrypting a secondary drive, you will have the option to proceed with
uninstallation. Refer to “Encrypted Secondary Disk, Connected” on page 100 and “Encrypted Secondary Disk, Not
Connected” on page 101.
To uninstall Full Disk, do the following:
1. Log on to the client computer using an administrator account or other account with sufficient privileges to
uninstall software.
2. Click Start, then click Control Panel.
3. For Windows XP, double-click Add or Remove Programs. For Windows 7 or Windows Vista, click Classic
View, and double-click Programs and Features.

If a secondary disk was encrypted at the time that Full Disk was uninstalled and you chose to proceed with the
uninstallation, you must follow the steps in this section to regain the ability to encrypt and manage the drive using
Full Disk.
Before you begin, you will need to know the number assigned to this physical disk by the operating system. The
numbering starts at 0 and increments sequentially. Visit the Windows Disk Management snap-in to obtain the
number.
1. Reformat the secondary disk.
2. Obtain a Windows 98 boot CD and boot the client computer from the CD.
3. Type the following at the Windows 98 command prompt:
FDISK /CMBR drive number
where drive number denotes the drive number of the secondary drive.

Management Server Configuration
Below the status value, a sentence will state either that synchronization with the directory service has never occurred,
or the last time and date on which the synchronization occurred.
The status information for both areas is refreshed by clicking Refresh Status.
The display of the buttons will vary as appropriate to the current status of the directory service synchronization. If the
service is stopped, click Start to start the service. Click Stop to stop the synchronization service. Click Restart to
restart the service.
Click Rebuild Table to effect an immediate and complete synchronization. Normal synchronizations occur
approximately every 15 minutes and only update data that has been changed since the last synchronization. The
Rebuild Table button will effect a full and complete synchronization on an immediate basis. For large deployments,
this operation can take an extended period of time to complete, and will temporarily increase the load on the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption database and each directory service.
Startup Mode allows you to select whether each directory synchronization service starts automatically or manually.
Sync Mode controls whether the Management Server operates as a primary or a secondary synchronization source.
This setting is pertinent for deployments in which you have created an NLB cluster of multiple Management Servers
to provide hot failover capability. By default, each Management Server is installed as the primary synchronizer.
When operating in a cluster of Management Servers, only one Management Server should be configured as the
primary synchronizer, and all other Management Servers should be configured as secondary synchronizers. See
“Directory Sync Service Status” on page 105.
To configure this Management Server to act as a primary synchronizer, choose Automatic from the Startup Mode
list box, and choose Primary from the Sync Mode list box.
To configure this Management Server to act as a secondary synchronizer, choose Secondary from the Sync Mode list
box, then choose Automatic from the Startup Mode list to run the service automatically at boot time. Choose
Manual if you don’t want the service to automatically run and begin synchronization at boot time.
Enable reverse data verification provides additional assurance that deleted directory objects will be properly
synchronized with the Management Server. This setting is off by default. Be advised that turning on this setting
doubles the number of times the directory is queried for changes, resulting in a decrease in network performance.
Therefore, you may wish to analyze the directory synchronization network traffic prior to and after enabling this
setting in order to assess its impact.

Client Computers. To improve performance and usability, you can exclude these domains from being synchronized.
To use the domain filter, click Configure Domain Filter.
Figure A.4—Configuration Manager, Configure Domain Filters
In the Include Computers from column on the left, select a domain you wish to exclude, then click > to move the
domain into the Exclude Computers from column on the right. Moving a parent domain from the Include
Computers from column to the Exclude Computers from column will also move all child domains of that parent
domain. In a typical deployment, you would exclude the top level of a domain, then include only those child domains
containing Client Computers. Click OK when finished.
Click Enable TLS/SSL to encrypt all synchronization traffic between Active Directory and the Management Server.
Note that the use of this option requires properly installed and configured TLS/SSL certificates. See “Active
Directory Synchronization Communications” on page 15.

Policy Priority Settings Area
When you select both the Activate Microsoft Active Directory Synchronization and the Activate Novell
eDirectory Synchronization check boxes, the policy priority settings area will be displayed. When Active Directory
and eDirectory are both present, a Client Computer can potentially be a member of both, thus receiving two sets of
potentially conflicting Symantec Endpoint Encryption policies. To mitigate potential policy conflicts, you must
choose the directory service whose policies will have priority. Select either Use AD Policy or Use Novell Policy.
Web Server Configuration
Click the Web Server Configuration tab to view and/or modify the protocol and/or port used for communications
between the Client Computers and the Management Server.
Figure A.5—Configuration Manager, Web Server Configuration Tab
Web Server Name displays the name of the computer hosting the Management Server. The NetBIOS name is
displayed by default after installation, but this field will also accept an FQDN. You will need to adjust this value if
you:
The computer name of the Management Server has been changed.
DNS configuration issues prevent the NetBIOS name from resolving and an FQDN is more appropriate to your
network environment.
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk

Installation Guide
Management Server Configuration
You will use an NLB cluster of Management Servers. You must edit this value on each cluster member so that it
contains the FQDN of the cluster. See “Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server Clusters” on
page 110.
If you intend to use HTTPS communication between Client Computers and the Management Server, this
name must match the common name (CN) specified in the server-side TLS/SSL certificate exactly. Refer to
Chapter 2 “Server-Side TLS/SSL Certificate” on page 14.
Account Name and Domain display the name and domain of the IIS client account. If you are changing the IIS client
account, type the credentials of this account. To complete any changes on this tab, you must enter the password of the
IIS client account in Password, then click OK.
Once you have completed the entry of the IIS client account credentials, to change the protocol itself, select the
relevant option button. If HTTPS is selected, an HTTPS Port field will be displayed, along with the Client
Computer Communications area.
Type the number of the TCP port on the Management Server that should be used for the unencrypted client
communications in the HTTP Port box. A TCP port for unencrypted communications will be required even if the
HTTPS option is selected. IIS requires this information, but Symantec Endpoint Encryption will not use this port. If
you selected the HTTPS option, type the TCP port on the Management Server that should be used for the encrypted
client communications in the HTTPS Port box.
To select or change the client-side TLS/SSL certificate Symantec Endpoint Encryption Client Computers use for
encrypted communication with the Management Server, click the Browse button adjacent to the text Client-Side
TLS/SSL Certificate. A Choose SSL certificate file dialog will be displayed, listing the certificates available in the
personal certificate store of the local computer (i.e., the Management Server). Navigate to the location of a CER file
suitable for use as a client-side TLS/SSL certificate, then click Open. The certificate hash string will be displayed
below the Browse button.
To select or change the server-side TLS/SSL certificate the web service of the Management Server uses for encrypted
communication with Symantec Endpoint Encryption Client Computers, click the Browse button adjacent to the text
Server-Side TLS/SSL Certificate. The Certificate selection dialog will display a list of certificates found in the
local certificate store. Select a certificate suitable for use as a server-side TLS/SSL certificate, then click OK. The
certificate hash string will be displayed below the Browse button.
Selecting the server-side TLS/SSL certificate in the Configuration Manager is equivalent to assigning the
server-side TLS/SSL certificate to the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Services website using the IIS
Manager snap-in.
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server Clusters
Basics
Multiple Management Servers can be configured into an NLB cluster for hot failover capability. Clustering provides
additional assurance that Symantec Endpoint Encryption client computers will maintain contact with Management
Server at all times.
Creating the Cluster
While detailed instructions for creating an NLB cluster are beyond the scope of this Guide, here is an outline of the
necessary steps. Refer to Microsoft documentation for in-depth instructions on how to configure an NLB server
cluster using the Network Load Balancing Manager snap-in.
1. Create an address ("A") record in the DNS dedicated to the cluster, for example, cluster1.your-org.com.
2. Create a new cluster using the Network Load Balancing Manager snap-in. Specify the network and naming
settings that correspond to the DNS entry you reserved for the cluster.
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk
110
Installation Guide
Management Server Configuration
3. Populate the cluster with individual Management Server hosts.
If you plan to configure the Management Server for HTTPS client-server communication, you must
configure all Management Servers in the cluster with TLS/SSL certificates that specify the FQDN of the
cluster, for example, cluster1.your-org.com.
4. On each cluster host, open the Management Server Configuration Manager and click on the Directory Sync
Services tab. On the primary host, set Sync Mode to Primary and click OK. On all other hosts, set Sync Mode
to Secondary and click OK.
Verifying Successful Cluster Failover
After you have configured all Management Server hosts into an NLB cluster, you’ll need to test cluster failover
functionality.
1. Create a Framework client package configured to report to the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management
Server cluster at a one minute interval. Deploy this client package to one or more client computers.
2. On each host of the cluster, configure the Windows System Monitor to display Symantec Endpoint Encryption
Services website network traffic.
3. Launch the Performance snap-in. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, then click
Performance. In the left pane, click System Monitor. In the right pane, click the New Counter Set button, then
click the Add button to display the Add Counters dialog.
4. Leave Select counters from computer at the default setting of the name of computer you are logged on to. In
Performance object, select Web Service, and in Select instances from list, select Symantec Endpoint
Encryption Services. Leave Select counters from list at the default setting of Bytes Total/sec. This configures
the counter to display the total amount of bytes transferred by the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Services
website. Click Add, then click Close.
5. On the primary host, the System Monitor should display a periodic burst of data traffic corresponding to the client
check-in interval, while all other hosts in the cluster should display a smooth line, indicating no data traffic to the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption web service on that host.
6. Induce a communication failure in the primary host by disconnecting it from the network.
7. On the secondary host, the System Monitor should display a periodic burst of data traffic corresponding to the
client check-in interval, indicating that successful failover has occurred. Other hosts in the cluster should display
a smooth line, indicating no traffic to that host.
8. Induce a communication failure in the secondary host and verify that client traffic is now flowing to the tertiary
host. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for all other hosts in the cluster to verify that failover is working. Finally, reconnect the
primary host to the network and verify that clients are once again connecting to the primary host rather than other
hosts in the cluster.

Extending Domain User Rights with DSACLS
Appendix B. Extending Domain User Rights
with DSACLS
Overview
Although assigning modified permissions can be done in a variety of ways, the technique presented here uses the
dsacls.exe utility, a separate download and install. The dsacls.exe utility is included with the ADAM administrator
tools as part of the ADAM SP1 installer.
This technique is discussed in the Microsoft knowledgebase article at the following URL:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892806
Prerequisites
Before you begin, you’ll need:
The Active Directory synchronization account (see Chapter 1 “Synchronization Accounts” on page 10).
The ADAM SP1 installer (32-bit version).
A Windows Server 2003 machine.
The ADAM SP1 installer may be downloaded from the Microsoft website at the following URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9688F8B9-1034-4EF6-A3E52A2A57B5C8E4&displaylang=en
Make sure that you download the 32-bit version of ADAM SP1 (ADAMSP1_x86_English.exe).
A full installation of ADAM is not required. Only the ADAM administration tools must be installed in order
to make the DSACLS utility available.
Summary of Steps
Using a modified non-administrator account with the Active Directory synchronization service requires the following
steps:
1. Launch the ADAM Setup Wizard and install the ADAM administrator tools only.
2. Modify the access permissions for the Active Directory synchronization account using the dsacls.exe utility.
3. Install the Management Server, and specify the Active Directory synchronization account in the Directory
Service Synchronization page of the Management Server InstallShield Wizard.
4. Test the proper functioning of the Active Directory synchronization service running with the modified
non-administrator account.
In the following steps of the Management Server install process, you will set the permissions on the Active Directory
synchronization account. You will do this by logging on the domain controller as a domain administrator and
executing the dsacls.exe utility two times with two sets of parameters.

Installation Guide
Extending Domain User Rights with DSACLS
Install ADAM Administrator Tools
From your Windows Server 2003 machine, launch the ADAM SP1 installer application
(ADAMSP1_x86_English.exe). Click Next. The License Agreement page of the ADAM Setup Wizard appears.
Select the option I Agree, then click Next. Select ADAM administration tools only, and then click Next. On the
final installation screen, click Finish.
Grant List Children & Read Property Access Permissions
When you execute the dsacls.exe utility, you will grant the ability of the designated domain user account to read and
list the children of all objects in Active Directory, including the deleted objects container. Applying this permission is
necessary to allow the proper functioning of the Active Directory synchronization service.
The permissions string (“LCRP”) in the following command line represents the list of granted operations. These
operations are:
List the children of an object, and
Read property.
Log on to the domain controller using the domain administrator account. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, then click
OK to open a new command prompt window.
1. At the C:\WINDOWS\ADAM> command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
dsacls.exe "CN=Deleted Objects,dc=your-org,dc=com" /takeownership
Be sure to replace the dc=your-org,dc=com entry with the distinguished name of your own domain.
2. At the C:\WINDOWS\ADAM> command prompt, type the following command, and press ENTER:
dsacls.exe "CN=Deleted Objects,dc=your-org,dc=com" /G "your-org\adsyncuser":LCRP
Be sure to replace the dc=your-org,dc=com entry with the distinguished name of your own domain, and replace the
your-org\adsyncuser entry with the domain name and user name of your own Active Directory synchronization
account.
Having modified the Active Directory synchronization account, you can now proceed to the Management Server
installation, and enter this account in the Directory Service Synchronization page of the Management Server
InstallShield Wizard.
Testing AD Synchronization
In order to verify the proper functioning of the Active Directory synchronization service, perform the following steps:
1. Create a new computer object in Active Directory.
2. Access the Symantec Endpoint Encryption database using the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (part of
an optional install of tools for SQL Server 2005) using system administrator-level privileges, and verify that the
newly created computer object in present in the dbo.ADComputers table of the SEEMSdb database.
3. Delete the new computer you just created.
4. Either wait for synchronization to occur, or force synchronization to take place using the Configuration Manager.
See “Directory Sync Service Status” on page 105.
5. Using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, verify that the newly created computer object has been deleted
from the dbo.ADComputers table of the SEEMSdb database.

In addition, this appendix details required and recommended settings for the token software.
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Authentication Certificates
Issuance from Windows Server 2003
If the operating system of the certificate authority machine is Windows Server 2003, ensure that you have
downloaded and applied the following Microsoft patch before issuing the certificates:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ffaec8b2-99e0-427a-81102f745059a02d&displaylang=en
Single Certificate on Token
If multiple certificates with the required key usages and extended key usages reside on a single token, the user will be
prompted to select the appropriate certificate when they register and each time they log on to the User Client Console.
The Client Administrator will be prompted to select the certificate when logging on to the Administrator Client
Console. Refer to the User Guide and Client Administrator Guide for more details about the appearance and
presentation of the Certificate Selection dialog.
The manual selection of the appropriate certificate is not only cumbersome for the individual user and Client
Administrator, it also introduces the possibility of human error. To avoid this, ensure that only a single certificate with
the required key usage and extended key usage extensions exists on each token.
Required Key Usage
The key usage on the certificate to be used for authentication to Symantec Endpoint Encryption must be set as
described in the following table. While the certificate must possess these key usages, additional key usages will not
prevent the certificate from being used for authentication.

Mapped Windows Domain Account Privileges
Appendix D. Mapped Windows Domain
Account Privileges
Overview
The Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server can be configured during setup to authenticate to the
database using Windows authentication. This is to accommodate environments that restrict the use of SQL
authentication and SQL servers operating in mixed mode.
To use Windows Authentication, you must provision a Windows domain account with special privileges prior to
installation of the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, you must:
Configure your SQL server to use Windows Authentication mode.
Designate a Windows domain account for use as the Management Server account.
Summary of Steps
Preparing a Windows domain account for use as the Management Server account requires the following steps:
1. Add metabase permissions for the account using the aspnet_regiis.exe utility.
2. Add folder permissions for the account.
Add Metabase Permissions
Use the ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool (aspnet_regiis.exe) to grant the account access to the IIS metabase and other
directories used by ASP.NET. Execution of this command will also add the account to the IIS_WPG group and grant
the account “log on as a batch job” permission.
Log on to the Management Server using a domain administrator account. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, then
click OK to open a new command prompt window.
1. At the command prompt, change to the following directory:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
2. At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
aspnet_regiis.exe -ga domain_name\user_name
Be sure to replace the domain_name\user_name entry with the Windows domain name.
Add Other Permissions
Grant the account read and write access to the following directories:
%SystemRoot%\Temp
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk

Active Directory
Active Directory is the directory service included with Windows Server 2003 and
Windows Server 2008. This service stores information about objects on a network and
makes that information available to users and network administrators. Active
Directory gives network users access to permitted resources anywhere on the network.
Active Directory provides network administrators with a hierarchical view of the
network and a single point of administration for all network objects.
Active Directory
Policies
Active Directory policies are one of two types of policies that can be created and
deployed from the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager. They feature seamless
integration with well-known Active Directory toolsets and include user as well as
computer policies.
Active Directory Users
and Computers Snap-in
The Users and Computers snap-in from Microsoft is used to find and organize the User
and Computer objects in an Active Directory structure.
Authenti-Check
Authenti-Check allows users missing their credentials to gain access to their Windows
computers and/or the User Client Console without assistance. A set of up to three
question-answer pairs authenticates the user. Password users will be prompted to
change their password upon successful completion of a pre-Windows Authenti-Check
process. The User Client Console will launch automatically upon successful
completion of a Pre-Windows authentication process for a token-only user, so that they
can use it to change tokens, if necessary. Authenti-Check is not available to Client
Administrators or Mac users.
Automatic
Authentication
If a Windows Client Computer is set for automatic authentication, Full Disk will not
require valid Symantec Endpoint Encryption credentials to be provided before
allowing Windows to load. This option relies on Windows to authenticate users.
In addition, users will be registered automatically unless a registration password is
required. Requiring a registration password serves to avoid reaching the maximum
registered user limit and to limit the number of users that can gain access to the User
Client Console.
The automatic authentication feature is not available for Mac endpoints.

Client Administrators provide local support to Symantec Endpoint Encryption users.
When creating or updating Client Administrator accounts, the Policy Administrator
assigns individual administrative privileges:
Unregister users—allows Client Administrators to unregister registered users from
the Administrator Client Console;
Decrypt drives—provides Client Administrators with the right to decrypt
encrypted disks and partitions from the Administrator Client Console or through
the use of Recover /D;
Extend lockout—permits Client Administrators to extend the Client Computer’s
next communication date using the Administrator Client Console; and
Unlock—enables Client Administrators to unlock Client Computers that have been
locked for failure to communicate with the Symantec Endpoint Encryption
Management Server.
Client Administrators are always able to authenticate to Client Computers.
When creating a policy to be deployed to a Client Computer running a version earlier
than Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk 8.0.0, the following privilege levels can
be selected:
High—unregister registered users, decrypt encrypted disks and partitions, extend
the Client Computer’s next communication date, and unlock Client Computers.
Medium—decrypt encrypted disks and partitions, extend the Client Computer’s
next communication date, and unlock Client Computers.
Low—extend the Client Computer’s next communication date and unlock Client
Computers.
Client Administrators cannot change their own passwords or use any passwordrecovery methods.

(GPO)
An object in Active Directory that contains user and/or computer policies, and
possibly software deployment policies.
Management
Password,
Management Password
Snap-in
The Management Password snap-in allows you to change the Management Password.
The Management Password controls administrator access to two Full Disk help desk
functions: Recover /B and the One-Time Password Program.
Management Server
Account
A Microsoft SQL Server account or Windows domain account used for
communication between the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server and
the Symantec Endpoint Encryption database, as well as for Management Server
services. When SQL authentication is chosen during installation of the Management
Server, a SQL Server account is created by the installer. This SQL Server account has
execute permissions to the database catalog and has the following database roles:
db_datareader, db_datawriter, and public. When Windows authentication is chosen
during installation of the Management Server, you must specify a Windows domain
account that you have already provisioned with special permissions. See Appendix D
“Mapped Windows Domain Account Privileges” on page 117.
Microsoft Management
Console (MMC)
Microsoft Management Console is a container User Interface (UI) that provides no
functionality by itself. Each Microsoft Management Console process can host a set of
snap-ins displayed in one or more windows. The layout of a Microsoft Management
Console can be saved as a file with an .msc extension.
Microsoft Windows
Installer (MSI)
A format for self-contained database files containing the requirements and instructions
that the Windows Installer uses when installing applications. MSI packages can be
deployed via Group Policy Objects.
Native Policies
Native policies are one of two types of policies that can be created and deployed from
the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager. Native policies do not rely on any
existing directory service for managing Symantec Endpoint Encryption Client
Computers. Unlike Symantec Endpoint Encryption Active Directory policies, native
policies apply to computers only and cannot be applied to users.
Novell eDirectory
An LDAP-based directory service from Novell. Computers that are members of an
eDirectory domain can be managed using Symantec Endpoint Encryption native
policies. Information from eDirectory can optionally be synchronized to the Symantec
Endpoint Encryption database, allowing Symantec Endpoint Encryption native
policies to be applied according to the organizational structure maintained in
eDirectory.

Objects
The term objects is used to refer to any Active Directory object. This includes
individual Users, Computers, or Policies, as well as Groups of Users or Computers.
See also Containers.
On-The-Fly Encryption/
Decryption
Once the encrypted disk has been mounted, Full Disk decrypts and re-encrypts data on
the fly.
One-Time Password
(OTP)
The One-Time Password (OTP) Program allows Full Disk users on Windows
endpoints to recover from a forgotten password, PIN, or token with help desk
assistance. It also allows users to regain access to their Windows computer after it has
been locked for a failure to communicate with the Symantec Endpoint Encryption
Management Server. This assistance provides the user with a one-time password or
response key, which allows the registered user to temporarily authenticate. A
password-based registered user is then prompted to enter a new password.
Two methods are available for assisting registered users: online and offline.
The online method is easier and more secure, but will not succeed unless the Client
Computer has made contact with the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management
Server at least once following the registration of the user requiring assistance.
The offline method can be used if the online method fails or if the Client Computer has
never checked in with the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server. The
registered user provides the help desk with an OTP personal identifier to help ensure
their identity. They also provide the help desk with a challenge key; the help desk in
turn provides the user with a response key.
OTP Key
A critical value used for the One-Time Password password recovery feature. When the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager is installed for the first time, it populates the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption database with the OTP key.
Policy Administrator
Policy Administrators perform centralized administration of Symantec Endpoint
Encryption. Using the Manager Console and the Manager Computer, the Policy
Administrator:
Updates and sets client policies.
Runs reports.
Changes the Management Password.
Runs the Help Desk Program.
Creates the computer-specific Recover DAT file necessary for Recover /B.
Access to Symantec Endpoint Encryption snap-ins can be restricted on a per snap-in
basis, giving the domain or higher-level administrator flexibility when assigning
specific Policy Administrator duties.

Glossary
Recover Program
The Recover Program can be used if a Windows Client Computer encounters a serious
error and cannot load Windows. The program attempts to regain access to data on the
hard disk by repairing the Symantec Endpoint Encryption client database files
(Recover /A), performing an emergency decryption of the entire hard disk (Recover /
D), or restoring the encryption keys (Recover /B).
Serverless
An installation mode of the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager that requires no
connection to a Symantec Endpoint Encryption database. Framework client packages
created from a serverless Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager produce Windows
clients that do not communicate with a Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management
Server. For more information, refer to the Serverless Mode Supplement.
Silent Client
A Windows client installed from a Framework client package created from a serverless
mode installation of the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager. If the computer has
never checked in, the online method of the One-Time Password recovery method and
the Recover /B hard disk recovery option are not available.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
A feature that allows Symantec Endpoint Encryption registered users to log on to both
Windows and Symantec Endpoint Encryption with their Windows password.
Snap-In
A Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file user interface module designed to be loaded into a
Microsoft Management Console.
Symantec Endpoint
Encryption Database
The Symantec Endpoint Encryption database is created on the designated Microsoft
SQL Server instance by the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server
installer. It is populated and kept up to date by the Symantec Endpoint Encryption
Management Server which communicates with the Client Computers and directory
service servers (if any).
Symantec Endpoint
Encryption Framework
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Framework provides Symantec Endpoint Encryption–
wide features, such as authentication methods and settings, as well as registered user
and Client Administrator accounts and information.
Symantec Endpoint
Encryption
Management Server
The Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server acts as both a web and
application server. It enables all aspects of Symantec Endpoint Encryption policy
management and application, stores data reported by Client Computers in the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption database, and (optionally) synchronizes information
from Active Directory and/or eDirectory with the Symantec Endpoint Encryption
database.
Symantec Endpoint

Symantec Endpoint
Encryption Password
Glossary
The Symantec Endpoint Encryption password is used by registered users and by Client
Administrators to authenticate to Symantec Endpoint Encryption during pre-boot
authentication.
On Windows endpoints, registered users who do not have SSO enabled use the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption password to authenticate to the User Client Console
and Client Administrators use their password to authenticate to the Administrator
Client Console. Registered users who have SSO enabled and log off of their Symantec
Endpoint Encryption session when closing the User Client Console, must also
authenticate if they launch the console again during their Windows session. The Client
Administrator uses their password to authenticate to Recover /A and Recover /D.
A Client Administrator’s password must be between 2 and 32 characters and is defined
by the Policy Administrator through installation settings and policies.
If automatic authentication is in effect, users will not have a Symantec Endpoint
Encryption password. Otherwise, users will define their Symantec Endpoint
Encryption password during registration. If SSO is enabled, the user’s Symantec
Endpoint Encryption password will be the same as their Windows password. If SSO is
not enabled, the user’s Symantec Endpoint Encryption password will differ from their
Windows password and they will be able to change this password using the User
Client Console.
Symantec Endpoint
Encryption Software
Setup Snap-in
A snap-in from Symantec that allows Symantec Endpoint Encryption client software
to be customized before deployment.
User
At least one user is required to register with Symantec Endpoint Encryption on each
Client Computer. A wizard guides the user through the registration process, which
involves a maximum of five screens. The registration process can also be configured to
occur without user intervention.
Authentication to Full Disk can be configured to occur in one of three ways:
Single Sign-On enabled—The user will be prompted to authenticate once each time
they restart their computer.
Single Sign-On not enabled—The user must log on twice: once to Full Disk and
then separately to Windows.
Automatic authentication enabled—The user is not prompted to provide
credentials to Full Disk; the authentication process is transparent. This option relies
on Windows to validate the user’s credentials.
