About Dell Data Protection | Encryption (DDP|E) and encryption information in device details

About Dell Data Protection ||E) and encryption information in device details

If devices in the network have the DDP|E client installed, the appliance can collect status and configuration information and display it on the Device Detail page.

Registry key needed to be set on Windows DDP|E client

A requirement for the appliance being able to collect detailed inventory from Windows DDP|E clients is to set the DumpXmlInventory key in the client.

Key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\DellMgmtAgent\Parameters
DWORD Value: DumpXmlInventory
Data: 0x1

This registry value causes DDP|E to write an inventory.xml file to the target device, which is then parsed by inventory. See Add a Dump Inventory registry key to permit inventory collection on Windows DDP|E client devices.

This requirement applies only to Windows.

Dell Data Protection ||E)

DDP|E consists of applications that enable a user to:

•
Detect data security risks on desktops, laptops, and external media.
•
Protect data on these devices by enforcing access control policies, authentication, and encryption of sensitive data.
•
Manage data centrally with policies using collaborative tools that integrate into existing user directories.
•
Support key and data recovery, automatic updates, and tracking for protected devices.

Add the DumpXmlInventory registry key to an Agentless-managed Windows device

If DumpXmlInventory is absent on a Windows DDP|E client, the appliance cannot get access to the inventory .xml file in order to collect the relevant field information.

Dell Data Protection | Encryption is installed on the Windows device. Go to http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/dell-data-protection-encryption/drivers.

The procedure for adding the key is different for Agent-managed devices and Agentless-managed devices.

Add the DumpXmlInventory registry key to an Agent-managed Windows device

You must add DumpXmlInventory to a Windows DDP|E client before the appliance can collect field information from that client's inventory.xml file.

For Agent-managed Windows devices, you can use a default offline KScript from the appliance scripting feature to set the "dump inventory" registry key. This key is necessary for the DDP|E agent to write the detailed inventory XML data to the appliance file system.

* 
NOTE: After you set the registry key, the DDP|E service requires a full policy update schedule before the appliance is able to collect inventory.
1.
Go to the Script Detail page for the K1000 Enable Detailed DDPE Inventory (Windows) script.

Selecting a parent node in the tree automatically selects the associated child nodes. This behavior allows you to select any future OS versions, as devices are added or upgraded in your managed environment. For example, to select all build current and future versions associated with the Windows 10 x64 architecture, under All > Windows > Windows 10, select x64.

Custom

Run according to a custom schedule.

Use standard 5-field cron format (extended cron format is not supported):

* * * * *
| | | | +────────day of week (0-6)(Sun=0)
| | | +────────month (1-12)
| | +────────day of month (1-31)
| +────────hour (0-23)
+────────minute (0-59)

Use the following when specifying values:

•
Spaces ( ): Separate each field with a space.
•
Asterisks (*): Include the entire range of values in a field with an asterisk. For example, an asterisk in the hour field indicates every hour.
•
Commas (,): Separate multiple values in a field with a comma. For example, 0,6 in the day of the week field indicates Sunday and Saturday.
•
Hyphens (-): Indicate a range of values in a field with a hyphen. For example, 1-5 in the day of the week field is equivalent to 1,2,3,4,5, which indicates Monday through Friday.
•
Slashes (/): Specify the intervals at which to repeat an action with a slash. For example, */3 in the hour field is equivalent to 0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21. The asterisk (*) specifies every hour, but /3 restricts this to hours divisible by 3.

Examples:

•
15 * * * * Run 15 minutes after every hour every day
•
0 22 * * * Run at 22:00 every day
•
0 0 1 1,6 * Run at 00:00 on January 1 and June 1

Add the DumpXmlInventory registry key to an Agentless-managed Windows device

You must add DumpXmlInventory to a Windows DDP|E client before the appliance can collect field information from that client's inventory.xml file.

For an Agentless-managed Windows device, the process requires that you create a new Group Policy Object on a Windows Server 2008 or 2012 device so that you can deploy the registry setting to multiple devices in a domain.

1.
On a Windows Server 2008 or 2012 device, open the Group Policy Management Console.
2.
Right-click Group Policy Objects and click New.
3.
Provide a description name for the new GPO (for instance, Dell Data Protection | Encryption: Inventory Registry Setting) and click OK.
4.
Right-click the new GPO and click Edit.
5.
Browse to Computer Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Registry.
6.
Right-click Registry and select New > Registry Item.
7.
On the General tab, select Update in the Action drop-down menu.
8.
Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in the Hive drop-down list.
9.
Specify a Key Path of SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\DellMgmtAgent\Parameters.
10.
Specify a Value name of DumpXmlInventory.
11.
Select REG_DWORD in the Value type drop-down list.
12.
Specify 1 in the Value data field.
13.
Select the Hexadecimal option in the Base group, and click OK.
14.
Close the Group Policy Management Editor.

You can now link this new group policy object to a specific domain, Organizational Unit, and so on.

* 
IMPORTANT: You should test the GPO on a specific computer or set of computers before deploying it to all systems.
