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

    Dave,

    It was mostly out of my own curosity, but we do have a sitiuation where it would be handy to be able to decrypt remotely.

    For some reason, the policy that disabled local keys on our SGN install also set file encryption for "Local Storage Devices".  Fortunately, the volume encryption of the system partition overrode that policy, so all C drives were encrypted with volume encryption, but any users with non-system partitions on their local disk ended up having their drives encrypted with file encryption.

    I've been tasked with fixiing the issue, and so I was hoping I could push out decryption via policy for any non-system disks, then re-encrypt them using volume encryption without having to contact each individual user.
