  • 1.  How to disable WDE in PGP Desktop 10.1

    Posted Mar 24, 2011 06:14 AM

    Hi!

    I want to install PGP Desktop 10.1 with Netshare and WDE.
    And then i need to disable WDE at some computers, so i can easily activate it later if a user needs this feature.

    How can i get this? Is there any commandline option like "--set-driver disabled" ?

     

    Thanks for help!

    regards

    I think this Knowledge Base Article will help.

    Hi!

    I know this KB article. With this MSI switch i don't install the WDE feature, but i want to install it and then disable it.

    Maybe there is a .dll to unregister or a driver which can be disabled?

    background knowledge:
    In our company we want to deploy the software with our software-deployment-tool "WinInstall".
    The users need Netshare and WDE and at some computers i have to disable the WDE feature.

    thanks

    Are you installing this in a managed (i.e., with Universal Server) environment or unmanaged?

    If in a managed environment, you can create a policy group with the whole disk encryption feature disabled. This will make those portions of the UI in PGP Desktop be hidden.

    To enable WDE for these users - simply move them back to the policy group with the feature enabled.

    Unmanaged is more difficult. The most obvious way would be to do it via licenses.
