Deployment Eraser

[lleroy]

I tried to deploy Eraser 6.0.7.1893 with Active directory GPO. for this i extract the two .msi files from the .exe file.

If a standard user log on to the station where eraser was deployed, he got this error when eraser lauch:
Erase settings not set
In the settings tab, there is nothing under default file erasure method, default unused space erasure method, randomness data source.

if a user with administrative privilege log on to the station, eraser work normally. default settings is set.

Does eraser need administrative privilege to run ?

how to correct this situation ?

Is this possible to limit or to restrict some feature to some specific user ?
is this possible to allow user to only be able to erase file or disk store on usb stick or usb disk, but to deny the use on internal Disk ?

best regards

Your main issue: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=5473

Eraser's not currently designed for corporate deployment, so there is no way currently to restrict its use. Would you like to tell me what settings/commands should be restricted? This can be part of a future version.

Hello Joel, thanks for the response. but it doesn't correspond to my problem.

Does eraser needt administrative rights to be used ?

For the seconfd point:
It could be easier to deploy eraser with a .admx file which can (for example):
- fix all the settings for corporate ( default file erasure method, default unused space erasure method, ...)
- allow or not to use eraser on usb stick or HDD
- allow or not to use eraser on Internal HDD.
- allow or not to use eraser on network HDD.

No. Administrator rights are only needed for unused space erases and erasing files not owned by the current user.

For the seconfd point:

Please file a ticket for this.
