Deploying SafeGuard Enterprise to Workgroup PCs

cabaday

Hi All,

I've installed and configured SafeGuard Enterprise. I've created policies, client packages, and deployed the packages to two test machines. Both machines communicate with the SafeGuard Server and download policies. They don't however encrypt. I see them registered in the ".Auto registered" node but I'm not sure where to go from there.

I guess a couple of questions:

1) How is user creation handled for workgroup environments? All of the guides seem to concentrate on importing user and computer objects from Active Directory, which I'm not doing. This deployment has many stand-alone workgroup computers and has no intention of deploying AD.

2) Where should I start with troubleshooting why BitLocker encryption never starts?

3) Any best practices for workgroup deployments? I don't seem to find any best practice documents that talk about workgroups.

Thanks!

    Hi David,

    So I'm deploying BitLocker Encryption with SGN. I ended up with the BitLocker POA screen as opposed to the Sophos POA prompt. I've set the "Allow registration of new SGN users for" to Everybody but when I log in I'm still listed as a Guest.

    Where do I actually add the users? 

    Also, with the BitLocker POA, what credentials will be used at power on? Is it always the password that I was initially asked for when SGN enabled BitLocker? Or will the BitLocker POA password get updated once a new SGN User is registered in the UMA?

    Sorry for so many questions, I'm new to the product!

    Thanks so much!
