General settings for BitLocker To Go

You can specify the following policy settings to configure how BitLocker To Go is used on DriveLock Agents:

1. User interface settings in the Global configuration node:

   • By specifying the Taskbar notification area settings, you can configure different types of user notifications. You can move the BitLocker To Go entry to any location here.

2. Settings in the BitLocker To Go node:

   • Minimum password complexity for encrypted folders:

     Specify how complex the passwords must be. If you select Use password policy, make sure to define exact requirements.

   • Password complexity policy:

     Specify the minimum requirements that users must meet when entering a BitLocker To Go password.

   • Further settings in the Password strength and Encryption user experience sections:

     The settings affect the display of BitLocker To Go in the Start menu, taskbar or Windows Explorer and are identical to the corresponding settings for Encryption 2-Go.

   • Manage BitLocker To Go media not encrypted with DriveLock : Enable this setting to allow recovery information for removable media that are not encrypted with DriveLock to be uploaded to the DES. For this, certificate-based drive recovery and forced encryption must be configured.

For information about the effects of the settings, see BitLocker To Go on the DriveLock Agent.
