Flexibly manage Endpoint Encryption using only PolicyServer MMC or manage Endpoint Encryption using Control Manager for policy, user and device management and
PolicyServer MMC for advanced log management and reporting.
The following illustration shows how to deploy Endpoint Encryption using Control Manager to manage PolicyServer. In a Control Manager deployment, administrators use Control Manager for all Endpoint Encryption policy, user, and device controls, and
only use PolicyServer MMC for advanced Enterprise maintenance.

NoteIn environments that use Control Manager, changes to PolicyServer policies are
always controlled by Control Manager. Any changes made
using PolicyServer MMC are overwritten the next time that Control Manager synchronizes policies to the PolicyServer
database.
