Currently when an offline test is started our system looks for the access token from a usb key on the E drive. This has worked successfully for a couple of years. However, due to other considerations currently within our organisation, company policy now states that any usb connected, by default should choose O as the preferred drive.
I’ve checked the properties of the e-drive configs but they appear to be encrypted and it might be that only OCR can give a solution to this problem?
