Workstation locked and SafeGuard Enterprise server is no longer running

jls6214

Okay, I have a workstation that has been locked due to trying an incorrect password too many times.  It requires a challenge/response in order to unlock it, but the server running the SafeGuard application has died and is unrecoverable.  Is there any hope for recovering this data?

Thanks,

Josh

    Hi Josh,

    to recover the data, either by C/R or a WinPE recovery Disk, you need to have access to the Management Center.

    If only the "server" died, you can recover the Management Center if you have the following:

    - a backup of the SafeGuard DB (that contains the key reported by the client in question - if it was a managed client)

    - the p12 file of an MSO/SO 

    - the correct password to import the above mentioned p12

    - the keyfile of the client (only required if it was running in standalone mode)

    Without these 3 (4 if standalone) things it is impossible to recover the data.

    A detailed description how the SafeGuard Management Center can be restored is available in KBA 108156 (page 55 of the pdf).

    Hope that helps!
