Scenario:
You're unable to boot into encrypted machine after FDE applied due to some problems with preboot agent or operating system.
The the safest and one of the most trivial options to restore the data from encrypted hdd or decrypt it 'in place' is going through KES related ‘challenge-response’ procedure using another (i.e. proxy) machine with KES and FDE installed.

Sometimes Device Control errors in KES may occur. For example, hard drives are wrongly blocked when USB device blocking is enabled, or flash drive blocking is not happening although the policies require to do so.
In some cases, the reason for erroneous blocking is that the operating system (OS) is incorrectly identifying the device type.

As an example, if the policies prohibit access to flash drives, but this rule does not always work, you can check the followi
