This procedure requires xDataCleanupConfig.xml and security.zip for replacement. Contact Dell Technical Support to obtain the files.

Note: xData Cleanup Manager (xDCM) is a Wyse standard application that prevents irrelevant information from being stored on a local disk.

Password-related policies that are delivered from a domain controller to built-in accounts (Admin and User) are not reflected when using an operating system image with xData Cleanup Manager (xDCM) installed.

The following items apply to password-related policies:

  • Forced logoff time (minutes)
  • Password change prohibition period (days)
  • Password validity period (days)
  • Minimum password length

Resolution

How do I know if my computer is affected by this issue?

  1. Log in using the admin account.
    Note:
    • If automatic log in to the User desktop is enabled, log off from the User's desktop and log in as Admin.
    • The default password for Admin is DellCCCvdi.
  2. Press the Windows + e key to start Explorer.

Check to see if there is an xDCM folder in C:/Program Files. If you have an xDCM folder, you must replace the files, contact Dell Technical Support.
