10.3 Activating the PBA

This section applies to self-encrypting hard drives. It does not apply to standard hard drives.

If you have deactivated the ZENworks PBA on a device (see Section 10.2, Deactivating the PBA), you can use the Emergency Recovery application to reactivate the PBA.

  1. Make sure you have launched the Emergency Recovery application and loaded the device’s ERI file. See Launching the Emergency Recovery Application.

  2. Click the Recovery menu > Activate PBA, then follow the prompts.

  3. When the deactivation process is complete, click File > Exit to close the application.

  4. Shut down the device, then start it.

    The device must be powered down. When it is started, the device boots to the ZENworks PBA.
