New Features:
VDI Fingerprinting for Non-Persistent Virtual Machines
With the increased adoption of virtual desktops, the ability to consistently identify non-persistent devices with a unique fingerprint has been introduced. This enables the ability to run your pool of clones knowing that as each one is refreshed; Dell Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise or Dell Threat Defense retains the device identification.
When installing Dell Threat Defense version 149x (or later) on a Primary Image, use the install parameter VDI=1
to inform the Agent during install that it is running in a pool of cloned images. This enables the Agent to recognize each clone as a unique device and persist their identification when they refresh.
Dell Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise managed devices should follow the suggestions that are outlined within How to incorporate Dell Encryption / Dell Data Protection Encryption in a Windows sysprepped image for VDI Usage and Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise Support for VDI v1.3 from https://www.dell.com/support/home/product-support/product/dell-dp-endpt-security-suite-enterprise/docs.
Script Control - Using Wildcards in Exceptions
Adding exceptions for dynamic scripts that are run from a specific directory location or for a script that is run from multiple different user folders is now possible with the addition of using wildcards in Script Control exceptions. As an example for both, you can use the token "*" in the exception path to ensure it covers your variants.
/users/*/temp
covers:
\users\john\temp
\users\jane\temp
/program files*/app/script*.vbs
covers:
\program files(x86)\app\script1.vbs
\program files(x64)\app\script2.vbs
\program files(x64)\app\script3.vbs
For more information about using wildcards in Script Control exceptions, see How to Add Exclusions in Dell Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise.
Enhancements
Windows 10 Version 1803 (Redstone 4) Support. The agent is now compatible to install and run on Windows 10 devices with version 1803 (April 2018 Update), code named Redstone 4.

Known Issues
A corrupt quarantine table may not be rebuilt when auto-delete for quarantined files is enabled. Impacted devices are still protected. Impacted devices see quarantine actions looping repeatedly, and quarantined files are created with a *.quarantine.quarantine.quarantine.quarantine
(and so on) extension. This issue is under investigation by Dell and its partners.
