Remove Encryption - Safeguard Enterprise

Roberto

Hi guys!!

I have the following scenario: a Windows Xp Professional SP3 with the SGN client installed. I've made a policy for encryption of the c: and d: volumes. The encryption was set to use the machine key.

Question: I would like to know how we remove the encryption of the volumes. I've tried to change the policy to "No Encryption" but it didn't change anything. Is there any tool for booting and remove the encryption like in Safeguard Easy?

I really appreciate any help!!

Happy new year!!

Roberto

    Hi ssij,

    SGN is designed to only allow decryption with some user or administrative action. If you need to reimage a device, then there is no need to decrypt beforehand. Actually, it's most secure to leave the encryption and reimage on top of the disk, followed by encryption. If you are decrypting but want to leave the SGN Client on the device, then the method described previously is to best course of action.

    Can you please help me understand why you need to remove the encryption?
