    Hi guys,

    I got machines running windows 8 installed with Symantec Encryption Desktop, but at the bootguard it didnt show the custom bootguard that I set in SEMS.

    Is Windows 8 doesnt support this feature?

    Thanks

    Customized Bootguards will not display in systems using UEFI instead of the standard MBR setup.  Many if not most Windows 8 Systems use UEFI.

    There is a feature request for UEFI customized Bootguard support here:
