Deploying EMBASSY® Trust Suite in a Cloned System

Description:

EMBASSY Trust Suite must be deployed in an image before any configuration is performed.

To prepare an image with ETS, please use the following instructions:

Install EMBASSY Trust Suite software.
Note: It is important to avoid setting up any configurations within ETS after installation.
Install any other necessary software on your master image.
Deploy your image and alter the relevant SysIDs using the utility of your choice.

The system is now ready to be distributed to the end user. Depending on your enterprise, the following steps may be performed by the end user(s) or by an administrator before the final distribution of the computer. Regardless of who is performing the configurations, they should be performed on the individual computer after it has been imaged.

Turn on the TPM in the BIOS and take ownership of the TPM.
Enroll fingerprints for Windows login.
Enroll fingerprints for Preboot Authentication.
Finish configuring the system for end-user distribution and use.

For detailed instructions on how to complete the steps above, please refer to the online help files on your machine. To access the help files, use the F1 key within EMBASSY Security Center.

NOTE: If you are a mid-to-large enterprise, and are looking for a centralized way to manage fingerprint enrollment for Windows login, you might be interested in EMBASSY® Authentication Server.

EMBASSY® Remote Administration Server is also available for centralized management of TPMs and self-encrypting drives.
