To activate Drive Encryption offline, you must install the offline package that has the users list, policy settings, and policy configuration options. Copy and run the OfflineActivation.exe package on the client system to activate Drive Encryption offline.
Make sure that your client system has an administrator account with sufficient rights for installing and activating the Drive Encryption software.
Run the OfflineActivation.exe file from the temporary location. A command prompt window displays this message:
Activating Drive Encryption, please wait… message. The command prompt window disappears after adding the users and activating Drive Encryption.
Make sure Trellix Drive Encryption System Status is Active on the client system.
Note
The activation process might take up to 3 minutes.
Note
The Drive Encryption System State should be Active, and after a short while the Volume Status should change to Decrypted. The message Activation has completed successfully also appears on the Drive Encryption System Status window.
