SQL Server Instance
The SQL Server instance hosting the SEE database can reside on a database server or on the SEE Management
Server. If located on a database server, the database server does not need to belong to an Active Directory domain.
For optimal performance, Symantec recommends storing the data file and log files on separate physical disks. The
disk storing the log files must be formatted with the NTFS file system.

The SEE database can reside on either a physical machine or a VMware ESXi 3.5 virtual machine.

Compatibility Notes

• SEE Full Disk relies on the Master Boot Record (MBR). System restore tools that replace the MBR, such as IBM Rescue and Recover, are not compatible with SEE Full Disk and can cause serious problems if used.
• SEE Full Disk relies on its client database files and cannot protect them before Windows has loaded. Boottime defragmentation programs will scramble the client database files and prevent the computer from booting.

Ensure that the hard drives of the Client Computers are not encrypted with any other full disk encryption software before deploying SEE Full Disk. SEE Full Disk will not install on Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Opal-compliant, self-encrypting drives.
Fast user switching is not supported.

Section 508
SEE Full Disk provides Section 508–compliant text-to-speech capability for its Windows user interface components when used with JAWS version 9.0.2152 or later.
