FEATURE REQUEST: Web based key recovery Help Desk Console required for Symantec Endpoint Encryption

Products

• Endpoint Encryption

Issue/Introduction

 

Resolution

Symantec Endpoint Encryption Help Desk Recovery snap-in allows Helpdesk users to provide end users with response keys to enable authentication to encrypted drives.

However, in a large environment it is impractical to install the snap-in on hundreds of machines. So too, in an environment containing several Endpoint Encryption Management Servers and databases there is no straightforward way for Helpdesk users to switch between databases.

A web based Help Desk console would allow Help Desk users to quickly access the Recovery functionality in order to provide end users with response keys.

Symantec Corporation is committed to product quality and satisfied customers. Technical Support filed a Feature Request to add the functionality listed above. This Feature Request is currently being considered by Symantec Corporation to be addressed in a forthcoming version of the product.
