Product Settings Policy — Encryption Providers tab

The Encryption Providers tab under the Product Settings Policy allows you to set the encryption provider settings for the Product Settings Policy of Drive Encryption.

Option	Definition
PC Software	Use compatible MBR — Causes Drive Encryption to boot a built-in fixed MBR instead of the original MBR that was on the system after pre-boot logon. Note It is used to avoid problems with some systems that had other software that runs from the MBR and no longer work if Drive Encryption is installed. Fix OS boot record sides — Some boot records report an incorrect number of sides. Selecting this option fixes this on the client system. This is available only when you install the Drive Encryption extension. Use windows system drive as boot disk — Maintains the compatibility with some systems where the disk 0 is not the boot disk. Selecting this option forces the users product to assume that the boot disk is the one that contains the Windows directory but not disk 0. Enable Pre-Boot Smart Check (BIOS based systems only) — Modifies the Drive Encryption activation sequence and creates a pre-activation stage, where hardware compatibility checks are performed prior to actual activation and subsequent encryption. Force system restart once activation completes — This option is selected by default when you select Enable Pre-Boot Smart Check (BIOS based systems only) to restart your system after activation.
Opal	Require all disks to be Opal — Requires all the drives in your client system to be Opal drives for the PC Opal encryption provider to be activated.
Duplicate	Duplicates or copies the policy with a different name and this can be assigned to a different user.
Save	Saves the product settings policy of Drive Encryption.
Cancel	Exits the current page.
