Unencrypt off of network

jontan8181

Guys,

Is there a way to unencrypt a drive without having it sync with the Safeguard server? We have 2 drives with boot volume viruses that need to be unencrypted so our Network Security department can examine the drives. Is there a way to unencrypt those two drives without exposing them to our network and risking the virus spreading?

Thanks,

Jontan8181

    If we unencrypt a drive as a slave to another computer....will it remove the POA from the slave drive. We are having issues with the POA on a drive, and we are unencrypting as a slave....but will it still have the POA until the software is removed.

    Hi Jontan8181,

    Not exactly sure what you mean here. Do you  mean that when slaving the drive, will POA prompt you from the slaved drive for authentication?

    If that is your question, then the answer is: the slave drive may have a boot loader, but it's not being called, so no POA will appear from that disk.

    Or if your question is, will slaving a drive protected with SGN remove the active POA after it's a master again?

    If that is your question, then the answer is: The only way to remove POA from boot is to change the security policies either from the SGN Management Center or SGN Policy Editor.

    If I completely missed the context of your question, then please post it with more detail or with an example.
