Environment

Drive Encryption (DE) 7.1.x

For details of DE 7.1.x supported environments, see KB79422 - Supported platforms for Drive Encryption 7.x.

Summary

This article shows how to identify if your hardware supports Intel AES-NI. DE 7.1 includes enhancements across all areas of performance. These are unexceptionally experienced in conjunction with an AES-NI capable processor.

For more details about AES-NI, see KB79784 - FAQs for Drive Encryption 7.x.

Solution

Use one of the following methods to determine if the hardware (Intel CPU) supports AES-NI:

Visit the Intel website and look up the processor model to see if it supports AES-NI.
Download the CPU-Z application and run it on the client. This will display the CPU capabilities.
Install DE. Following activation and collection of properties at the ePolicy Orchestrator console, look at the system information for that client. It has a property that tells you if AES-NI is in use.
