Verify the signer or signers for Windows binaries
Use these steps to confirm that a Windows executable file or driver was signed by Dell and has not changed since the signing.
About this task
Some components, such as the File System and Microsoft Exchange Server agents, use drivers which both Dell and Microsoft have signed. These agents use block-based backup (BBB) drivers for backup and restore operations. The driver (nsrbbb.sys) resides in the Windows system folder, typically C:\Windows\System32\drivers. For dual-signed binaries, ensure that the signature list contains entries for both Dell and Microsoft.
Steps
- Locate and select the file in the Windows File Explorer.
-
Right-click the file and select
Properties.
The Properties sheet opens to the General tab.
-
Select the
Digital Signatures tab.
The tab displays a list of the digital signatures that are associated with the file.
- Verify that the signature list includes an entry for Dell Technologies.
- (Optional) Click Details to inspect the digital signature fields.
