Fixes & Enhancements
Resolved Technical Advisories:
EE for Windows:
-HCA activation time-outs when using ST One-time Password have been resolved.
-When reactivating the PBA, a message to shut down the computer now properly displays. This issue also applies to SED.
-TPM ownership is now properly taken after being cleared in BIOS when using DDP. This issue also applies to SED and BLM.
-Enhancements have been made to the installer to ensure that the correct PBAAuthURI is maintained, even if the installation reboot occurs before the authentication agent is upgraded.
-The issue of BLM or computers running HCA contacting the Server too frequently during encryption/decryption has been resolved.
-The issue of NTFS corruption leading to truncated .pst files is resolved.
-Interoperability issues with SEP v12.1.5 have been resolved. Upgrades from SEP v12.1.4 to v12.1.5 should not cause issues with DDP|E.
-The issue of Windows reporting ""Windows Not Genuine"" when running a Microsoft KMS and DDP|E have been resolved.
-Roaming profiles are now properly deleted after log off.
-The issue of installation failures due to SQL Compact errors when upgrading from v8.3.2 to 8.5.x is resolved.
-The issue of some special unicode characters, particularly German language umlaut characters, failing to be recognized during entry of password recovery questions, is resolved. This issue also applies to SED.
EE for SED:
-Occasional upgrade failures from ST to EE have been resolved. If the initial upgrade fails due to the Server being unavailable, the client will continue to be locally managed until the Server can be contacted and a new policy set is received at the client.
-An SED client-side registry setting is now available to configure the retry interval when the Server is unavailable to communicate with the SED client. This registry setting can be used to prevent large numbers of clients from trying to contact the Server at once, thereby compounding the problem.
-The issue of using ST, Windows 8.1, and the GPO ""Do Not Display Last Username"", causing single sign-on to fail has been resolved.
-Improvements have been made to make user login and start-up more reliable. This resolution also applies to BLM.
-Issues related to the DellMgmtAgent service failing to start or starting slowly have been resolved. These issues presented in the Windows System Event Viewer under the Service Control Manager with a message similar to the following: ""The DellMgmtAgent service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."" This resolution also applies to BLM.
-Enhancements have been made to the installer to ensure that the correct PBAAuthURI is maintained, even if the installation reboot occurs before the authentication agent is upgraded.
-The installer now properly installs UEFI PBA upon detection of a UEFI BIOS. Legacy PBA is installed if a UEFI BIOS is not detected.
-The issue of upgrading or uninstalling DDP|E with the tray application or console application running causing upgrade and uninstallation failures has been resolved. The tray application and console now close gracefully so that the upgrade or uninstallation can complete as specified.
-Previously, when installing the SED client, if an external drive (or USB media) was connected during installation, but disconnected prior to the post-installation restart, the computer would fail to reboot until the external drive was reconnected. This issue is resolved. This issue also applies to BLM.
BitLocker Manager:
-Network traffic caused by BLM has been resolved.
-When installing BLM through the UI, all options to select the startup policy are now displayed properly.
