BitLocker provides it's best protection when using it in combination with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 1.2. or later. The Trusted Platform Mobile is a hardware component included in many of newer computers. In combination with BitLocker it helps to protect user data and ensures that a customer has not been manipulated while the system was offline. In a nutshell BitLocker will encrypt the Windows operating system drive. Available for Windows 10 Pro (from version 1809), Enterprise and Education (from version 1703)

When you disable the warning prompt, the OS drive's recovery key will back up to the user's Azure Active Directory account. When you allow the warning prompt, the user who receives the prompt can select where to back up the OS drive's recovery key. The endpoint for a fixed data drive's backup is chosen in the following order:

Windows Update
With the configuration of Windows 10 you will gain control over how and when updates will be installed and which servicing channel will be used.
| Setting | Windows 10 | Windows 10 Mobile | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows Update Policy Settings | Enabled or Disabled | not available | Enables the Windows Update Settings. |
|
|
|
not available |
Notify the user before downloading the update. This policy is used by the enterprise who wants to enable the end-users to manage data usage. With this option users are notified when there are updates that apply to the device and are ready for download. Users can download and install the updates from the Windows Update control panel. Auto install the update and then notify the user to schedule a device restart. Updates are downloaded automatically on non-metered networks and installed during "Automatic Maintenance" when the device is not in use and is not running on battery power. If automatic maintenance is unable to install updates for two days, Windows Update will install updates immediately. If the installation requires a restart, the end-user is prompted to schedule the restart time. The end-user has up to seven days to schedule the restart and after that, a restart of the device is forced. Enabling the end-user to control the start time reduces the risk of accidental data loss caused by applications that do not shutdown properly on restart. Auto install and restart. Updates are downloaded automatically on non-metered networks and installed during "Automatic Maintenance" when the device is not in use and is not running on battery power. If automatic maintenance is unable to install updates for two days, Windows Update will install updates right away. If a restart is required, then the device is automatically restarted when the device is not actively being used. This is the default behavior for unmanaged devices. Devices are updated quickly, but it increases the risk of accidental data loss caused by an application that does not shutdown properly on restart. Auto install and restart at a specified time. Specify the installation day and time. If no day and time are specified, the default is 3 AM daily. Automatic installation happens at this time and device restart happens after a 15-minute countdown. If the user is logged in when Windows is ready to restart, the user can interrupt the 15-minute countdown to delay the restart. Auto install and restart without end-user control. Updates are downloaded automatically on non-metered networks and installed during "Automatic Maintenance" when the device is not in use and is not running on battery power. If automatic maintenance is unable to install updates for two days, Windows Update will install updates right away. If a restart is required, then the device is automatically restarted when the device is not actively being used. This setting option also sets the end-user control panel to read-only. Turn off automatic updates. |

Custom Profiles
Custom Profiles are very helpful if you are dependent to a new feature that Microsoft will release between any of our Silverback releases. Custom Profiles will ensure that you as an Administrator will be able to address any missing feature by generating a profile by yourself.
App Portal
The Application portal is where devices can access Enterprise applications and recommended Third Party applications via a web clip icon. To enable access to the Application portal for end users and push the app portal web clip icon to devices, ensure App Portal Enabled box is ticked.
| Setting | Windows 10 | Windows 10 Mobile | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| App Portal | Not available | Enabled or Disabled | Enables and pushes the App Portal Icon to enrolled devices. |
To customize the App Portal navigate to Admin > App Portal
Web Clips
Silverback allows administrators to push down Internet shortcuts to their Managed Devices, giving users easy access to the websites the administrator wants.
- Click New Web Clip
| Setting | Windows 10 | Windows 10 Mobile | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web Clip Name | not available | e.g. Matrix42 | Web Clip Display Name |
| Link | not available | e.g. https://www.matrix42.com | Target URL for the Web Clip |
| Icon File | not available | Choose File | Web Clip Display Icon. Support File Type: *.png |
Policy
With Policy or Policies Administrators have the ability to enforce rules with Silverback, such as enforcing what Apps are installed on the devices, what Cellular Networks the device is on through to enforcing the Serial Numbers of the devices as they are enrolled into the system. These are the environmental conditions that Silverback will continue to monitor for and ‘police’ for any devices that are associated with the Tag.
OS Version Compliance
Administrators have the ability to control which OS versions are allowed within their environment. To allow an OS version, simply ensure the checkbox next to the respective OS version is ticked. Enrolling a device with a disabled OS version will result in the device automatically being blocked.
- Alert Administrators: When the checkbox is checked, all administrators will receive an email when a device that violates OS compliance is detected, or when a new OS version is discovered.
- Automatically Approve New OS Versions: When an OS platform is enrolled to Silverback for the first time, the OS is automatically added to the list. By default, unknown OS platforms are disabled and relevant devices will be blocked. To automatically authorize new OS versions as they are discovered, ensure the checkbox is ticked.
Use this feature where you do not want devices to be automatically blocked when a user upgrades their device to a new future OS version that is released by their software vendor.
Hardware Compliance
Administrators have the ability to enforce a hardware compliance policy through Silverback. Simply uncheck the boxes for hardware types that should not be supported and any devices that match the hardware type and are managed by Silverback will be blocked. The list of hardware types is managed via the Device Types option in the Admin Tab of the Silverback Console. If a mapping from device type to hardware type exists, the hardware type will be displayed in the hardware compliance list. When a Device Manufacturer release a new version of their hardware the model numbers may not be known by Silverback, in this case Silverback will ‘learn’ them and store them as ‘Unknown’ in the Device Types section under the Admin Tab where the Administrator can update them manually. To allow these devices into your system you enable the ‘Unknown’ checkbox option. This will allow the device into your Silverback Environment and you can later re-classify this device type in the Admin > Device Types section.
- Alert Administrators: When the checkbox is checked it will ensure that administrators receive an email when a device that violates hardware compliance is detected.
Application Blacklist
Application Blacklist is available for Windows 10 Mobile. Because a very specific identifier needs to be provided to the device, the applications must be first added to the App Portal and then added to the blacklist.

Lockdown
The Lockdown screen allows you to determine what device compliance policies are enabled and what action should automatically occur when a violation is detected. Each policy is enabled/disabled through their associated checkbox. Enabling a lockdown policy ensures that the device is inspected to ensure it is compliant with that policy during the initial enrollment as well as at regular intervals as defined by the ‘Perform check every’ drop down.
