Question:

• What are the System Requirements for EndPoint Security clients?
• What disk formats does EndPoint Security support?
• What Operating System versions does EndPoint Security support?
• Why are users on some computers always allowed access to all Device Classes when they should not be?

Information:

The EndPoint Security client can be installed on the following Microsoft Windows versions:

• Vista (32 bits only)
• Server 2003
• XP
• 2000 (Service Pack 4)
• NT (Service Pack 6a, IE4 or above)

The server component is not supported on Vista.

EndPoint Security does not support installation on 64 bit systems.

• EndPoint Security is a 32 bit application. It depends heavily on drivers that have not been tested on 64 bit systems.

Notes:

• On Windows NT the granularity of control is reduced to Full Control, No Control.
• Read Only access is not supported on NT.
• File auditing is not supported on NT.
• On Windows 2000, writable CDROM devices might be accessible through Roxio Easy CD Creator.
• To resolve this issue, ensure that you have installed Service Pack 4 for Windows 2000.
• The client computer disks must use the NTFS file system. If the disks do not use NTFS, access restrictions will not be enforced.
• For encrypted USB devices, the minimum size is 64MB. EndPointSecurity uses the FAT32 file system for encrypted devices.
