DataExchange and File Encryption on USB memory sticks/iPods

craig_j

Hi,

I'm currently testing File Encryption for USB and Removeable Devices and am happy with the settings I'm using for USB memory sticks, however, I also have to test other USB devices with the obvious one being an iPod.

Settings are currently set to only encrypt when a file is copied across (not using Initial File Encryption) and it's been found that when syncing an iPod and new music is copied, it encrypts (as I expected).

Is there any way to differentiate between what type of device is plugged in, or does this require seperate SafeGuard software?

Ideally iPods (and Blackberrys) would be exempt from encryption.

Thanks

Craig

    Many thanks for the heads-up on "Unhandled Applications".

    As you've mentioned, it has to be Local Storage Devices policy, but we're targeting "Local Storage Devices/Removeable Media" and as such you can't add any applications as the option is greyed-out.

    If I use a global Local Storage Device policy, then all drives inc. local and removable will be affected, no? (which is not something we want).
