Enterprise Edition Administrator Guide 13
Requirements
Encryption Client
• The user account performing the installation must be a local or domain Admin user, which can be temporarily assigned
by a deployment tool such as Microsoft SMS or KACE. A non-Admin user that has elevated privileges is not supported.
• To successfully install DDP|E, the computer must have network connectivity.
• If you intend to use Hardware Crypto Accelerator (HCA) policies, you must first set up the Trusted P latform Module
(TPM), and if setting up a computer with legacy HCA, create a System password. Follow the instructions detailed in
Pre-Installation Configuration to Enable DDP|HCA
prior
to DDP|E installation.
• The features available as of v8.3 with HCA are supported on l
egacy BIOS non-UEFI computers. If running
Windows 8
or
Windows 8.1
, follow the instructions detailed in Change Secure Boot/UEFI to Legacy Boot Mode in BIOS
prior
to client
installation.
• Windows 8.1 should not be installed on drive 1 on HCA-enabled computers. This
operating system configuration is not
supported because Windows 8.1 creates a recovery partition on drive 0 which in turn, breaks Preboot Authentication.
Instead, either install Windows 8.1 on the drive configured as drive 0, or restore Windows 8.1 as an image to any of the
drives.
• Non-UEFI computers can have up to four primary partitions. When the PBA
is installed on a client computer, it needs to
create and use one of the four partitions for the startup partition, also called the Preboot Authentication (PBA) partition.
If all four partitions are already in use on a client computer, then the HCA card will fail to activate on it.
• Before configuring Preboot Authentication (PBA) on a computer eq
uipped with an HCA card, ensure that the computer
has a network connection to the DDP Server.
• HCA features for v8.3 and later do not support RAID configuration.
Legacy
HCA features (pre-v8.3) can be configured
using RAID.
Client Prerequisites
The installer installs these components if not already installed on the computer.
Prerequisites
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Update 3 or later Redistributable Package (x86 and x64)
• Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 (x86 and x64)
• Microsoft .NET Framework v4.0
BEST PRACTICE: Potential installation problems can be avoided if
Microsoft .NET Framework is installed on the target computer prior to
client installation.
