Short description
Details
Solution
An internal error has been
detected restoring from
Automatic Backup
Archive.
If the user
clicks
Restore under Backup
option of Embedded Security in
HPPTSM to restore from the
automatic backup Archive
selects
SPSystemBackup .xml
the Restore Wizard fails and the
following error message is displayed:
The selected Backup Archive does
not match the restore reason. Please
select another archive and continue.
If the user selects
SpSystemBackup.xm
l when the
SpBackupArchive.xml is required, Embedded Security
Wizard fails with:
An internal Embedded Security
error has been detected.
User must select the correct .xml file to match the
required reason.
The processes are working as designed and function
properly; however, the internal Embedded Security
error message is not clear and should state a more
appropriate message. HP is working to enhance this in
future products.
Security System exhibits a
restore error with multiple
users.
During the restore process, if the
administrator selects users to restore,
the users not selected are not able to
restore the keys when trying to restore at
a later time. A
decryption process
failed
error message is displayed.
The non-selected users can be restored by resetting
the TPM, running the restore process, and selecting all
users before the next default daily back runs. If the
automated backup runs, it overwrites the non-restored
users and their data is lost. If a new system backup is
stored, the previous non-selected users cannot be
restored.
Also, user must restore the entire system backup. An
Archive Backup can be restored individually.
Resetting System ROM to
default hides TPM.
Resetting the system ROM to default
hides the TPM to Windows. This does
not allow the security software to operate
properly and makes TPM-encrypted data
inaccessible.
Unhide the TPM in BIOS:
Open the Computer Setup (F10) Utility, navigate to
Security
>
Device security
, modify the field from
Hidden
to
Available
.
Automatic backup does
not work with mapped
drive.
When an administrator sets up
Automatic Backup in Embedded
Security, it creates an entry in
Windows
>
Tasks
>
Scheduled Task
.
This Windows Scheduled Task is set to
use NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for rights
to execute the backup. This works
properly to any local drive.
When the administrator instead
configures the Automatic Backup to save
to a mapped drive, the process fails
because the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
does not have the rights to use the
mapped drive.
If the Automatic Backup is scheduled to
occur upon login, Embedded Security
TNA Icon displays the following
message:
The Backup Archive
location is currently not accessible.
Click here if you want to backup to a
temporary archive until the Backup
Archive is accessible again.
If the
Automatic Backup is scheduled for a
specific time, however, the backup fails
without displaying notice of the failure.
The workaround is to change the NT AUTHORITY
\SYSTEM to (computer name)\(admin name). This is
the default setting if the Scheduled Task is created
manually.
HP is working to provide future product releases with
default settings that include computer name\admin
name.
Unable to disable
Embedded Security State
temporarily in Embedded
Security GUI.
The current 4.0 software was designed
for HP Notebook 1.1B implementations,
as well as supporting HP Desktop 1.2
implementations.
This option to disable is still supported in
the software interface for TPM 1.1
platforms.
HP will address this issue in future releases.
