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

    Create a policy targeting Local Storage Devices, and set encryption to "No Encryption".  When you create a policy group (or apply the policies to an OU), make sure that your Removable Media and Hard Disk encryption policies have higher priority, so it will override the "no encryption" in the unhandled applications.

    You can double check the policy setup with the Resulting tab on the management console.  You should see both a "Local Storage Devices" tab and "Removable Media" tab, and in the "Removable Media" tab, the default value of the unhandled applications field should have gone from being "not configured" to "iTunes.exe, ..."
