Network pre-boot (BIOS)

Note that as of version 2022.2, DriveLock Legacy BIOS pre-boot authentication is no longer supported and will be removed from the product. When you install a version 2022.2 agent, the system checks whether there is an active legacy BIOS PBA on the system. In this case, an update or installation of the agent will not be performed.

For some legacy BIOS systems, Disk Protection provides network-capable pre-boot authentication that can automatically detect whether a computer is part of a pre-defined corporate network and deactivates logon to the PBA (auto-boot).

This functionality is only available for some systems and can only be activated with the appropriate assistance of a DriveLock Professional Service Team member.
