    BitLocker Encryption for USB Drives BitLocker is a security feature. The purpose of BitLocker is to encrypt your data. This is extremely necessary for any data that is not to be shared with other persons. This will prevent anyone from being able to access your files. In order to have access to your files, you will need to provide a secure password. This password should be unique only to you. More information is provided below on how to make a unique password in step 2. During this process, step 3 offers the option to save a recovery key. The recovery key is 48 characters long and consist of numbers and letters. This key will be saved to Active Directory and allow the IS Department to access your USB/External drive should you forget your password.

So you may add, edit, or delete your files as you normally would. If you have any trouble following this guide or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the IS department. You will need a USB or External drive in order to successfully complete this process. Multiple ways to navigate to BitLocker: 1. Control Panel System & Security BitLocker Drive Encryption 2.

  • Microsoft Windows 10 Update Hello, Microsoft Has Begun
    Subject Line: Microsoft Windows 10 Update Hello, Microsoft has begun pushing a warning message to Windows 10 computers that a critical security update must be performed. Several clients have informed us that they are seeing the warning message. It will appear as a generic blue screen after your computer has been powered up, and it states that after April 10, 2018 Microsoft will no longer support your version of Windows 10 until the critical security update has been performed. Please note if your UAN computer has not been recently connected to the internet, you would not have received this message. UAN has confirmed that the warning message is a genuine message from Microsoft, and UAN strongly encourages all clients to perform this critical security update as soon as possible. Please note: ‐ This update is a Microsoft requirement and UAN cannot stop or delay its roll out. To perform the critical security updated select the ‘Download update’ button located within the warning message. ‐ This update is very large, for those clients that have metered internet usage at their home may want to perform the update at a different location with unmetered high speed internet, perhaps at another family member’s home. ‐ Several UAN staff members have performed the critical security update on their home computers, and the process took more than an hour to complete. To check that your computer has been updated or to force the update at a time that is convenient to you, go to the windows Start button and click on Settings (the icon that looks like a gear above the Start button) > Update and Security > Windows Update > Check for Updates and then follow the instructions on the screen.
