This release focuses on simplifying the deployment and ongoing usage of Trusted Platform Module (TPM) autoboot, reporting enhancements, and minor stability improvements.
The key improvements in this release include the following:
-
Seamless deployment and upgrade of TPM autoboot
Organizations can implement TPM autoboot without requiring end-user interaction during preboot, simplifying deployment. This includes seamlessly upgrading endpoints from standard to TPM autoboot without any end-user intervention. This saves time and resources by eliminating the need to educate end users on preboot interaction. -
Fine-tuning of TPM autoboot sensitivity
We have introduced granular control over TPM autoboot sensitivity in order to fine-tune your security policy by selecting specific Platform Configuration Registers (PCRs) to monitor. This flexibility allows you to reduce or even eliminate the need for helpdesk intervention, striking a balance between robust security and seamless user experience. -
Enriched Activation Failures query
We have enhanced the Activation Failures query to provide immediate visibility when encryption fails due to a lack of Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) system partition space. Customers will now be able to identify this issue within ePO and receive actionable guidance on how to resolve the situation.
