Keep in mind when we reference "0" in NYC, it is -17.7778 for you (F => C).

Some of us work in Celsius though and understood that when he said 0 he was speaking C.

Finally fixed in 2.31.25

Another solution for Macs will be required. It's not uncommon to have multiple solutions in place to cover different platforms

That is useless as it means the encrypted media is useless between macOS and Windows.

That's not an issue. There is no requirement to transport data between Mac and Windows devices on USB drives.

The point of wanting to use USB media is for portability. Otherwise, you simply disable it.

No there are not.

... Yes.

Bitlocker IS encryption. You can prevent write access to USB drives that are not encrypted with Bitlocker. That fits the requirements for Windows as a solution 100%.

No, there are not. Read the English again.

There is no possible way to have a policy that can know if a drive is encrypted. Yes, there is a policy that lets you know if a drive is encrypted specifically with bitlocker. But it does not and cannot know if a drive is encrypted in another method, because it is encrypted obviously.

Pay attention here...

If the drive is not encrypted with BitLocker, write access is denied. That's what the policy says. If the drive is encrypted with something else, great, that also meets the requirement. If the device is not encrypted, write access is denied. So it doesn't matter if it's encrypted by something other than BitLocker.

No it does not say with something else. It says another organization. Meaning bitlocker from a different environment. It is not possible to know if it was encrypted with anything other than bitlocker.

My daughter is going to New York City for the Christmas / New Year period.

We live in Australia, & not experienced the cold that can happen in NYC at that time of year. It barely reaches zero degrees where we live year on year.

My daughter's wondering what she should take clothes wise?

Should be dressed top to toe in gear you'd wear to the Antarctic, or do people just normally go from building to building and can get by with just good jackets and boots??

Thanks for any help.

Just depends. NYC is a lot of walking though. And temps are usually around 0-5. A heavier coat would be recommended

@JasGot chocolatey is the easy one.

There are policies to make it so that you cannot write to a USB storage device that isn't encrypted.

No there are not.

There are policies to make it so that you cannot write to a USB storage device that isn't encrypted with BitLocker. That is not the same thing.

But the matters not since this is a mixed environment of macOS & Windows.
