System and User Management
ProtectDrive clients are managed centrally from the server with the System and User
Policy data stored in and replicated from Active Directory. MMC Active Directory
Users and Computers Snap-in is amended with the PD Settings and PD Users
Tabs.
Alternatively, Local Machine Configuration Utility may be used to manage clients
locally. Local configuration may be saved in the Active Directory. Finally, each
client reports policy data update status back to the server.
Note:
In the current release of ProtectDrive the Local Machine Configuration Utility is
read-only. Configuration data may be viewed but not changed.

object security configuration to allow writing ProtectDrive policy data to Active
Directory.
To do this for a system called DELL7000 for example:
