Change Computer Owner on SDE

nsg1974

How can you change the owner of a computer in Sophos Disk Encryption?  The first user to logon becomes the owner, but what happens when this user leaves and the laptop is passed on?  Can you change the owner without reinstalling SDE? 

The user help refers to the first user to login becoming the owner as the "default setting" and that "the security officer can also define the owner of a computer via a policy setting".  I can't find anything relevant in any of the SDE policies.  Does anyone know if this is possible or if (as I suspect ) the help refers to features in the full Safeguard Enterprise product and hasn't been updated for SDE?

    Hi,

    in SGE 6.x (and SGN 6 standalone clients)  there is no "owner" in regards to the the SGN status, all users with a valid "User - Machine Assignment" have the status "SGN User".

    It is possible to assign a policy of the type Machine Settings to the client that allows such users deleting other users who are currently able to authenticate at the POA. After activating this setting the required dialog can be found on the client (tray icon -> User Machine Assignments).

    Hope that helps.
