Configure USB Drive for Use with Dell Data Protection

 

The first time an unencrypted USB drive is inserted into a system with DDP installed, the following window will pop up:

2019%2012:19:30%20PM

Selecting “NO” will make the drive Read Only.  If a user attempts to move a file to a drive that has been configured for “Read Only” access, the following pop up will appear:

2019%2012:20:52%20PM

Choosing “SKIP” will not move the file to the drive.

Choosing “Continue” will result in this notification:

2019%2012:22:10%20PM

Select “Try Again” and the original pop up asking to encrypt drive will appear.

 

To encrypt a USB drive, choose “YES”.  The following window will appear asking for a password:

DO NOT USE YOUR LSUHSC PASSWORD AS THE PASSWORD FOR THE USB DEVICE

The password must be at least 8 characters long.

2019%2012:23:11%20PM

 

Once a Password is entered, the following screen will appear while the USB device is being shielded;

2019%2012:24:38%20PM

 

Once the USB device is encrypted, this screen will appear:

2019%2012:26:01%20PM

 

And the following three files will be added to the drive:

2019%2012:27:05%20PM

 

Files can now be written to the USB drive.
