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 David! I would like to thank you for your attention, in advance. I've tried the second solution (the first one I've already tried) and it worked very well in my virtual lab !!!! (Thank you for the tips!) But I need to test at my client network. He has 100 licences of the Management Interface plus 100 licenses of the Device Encryption. He decided to don't use the POA, so after the notebook power on, it goes directly for the Windows logon. He uses his notebooks with the c:\ volume encrypted (system) and a e:\ volume (users files) also encrypted. He said that is enough for him. We decided to use the Machine Key for encryption to simplify his management. As we are having troubles with some hardware (we are having some issues with Dell notebooks), sometimes he need to slave a hard drive to copy the users personal files (the e:\ volume), because its common the Windows to crash. My client also have some Safeguard Easy licenses and he asked me if there is any solution , like in easy, to boot on through a BOOT CD and remove the encryption (I hope that explains my post). Its possible? The Challenge Response process to obtain the access to the disk is great, but it will be very interesting if it is also possible if we could export the key through the Management Console, add this key to the boot CD and than remove the encryption. I would thank you for your fast support and sorry for my bad English. p.s.: I'll test at my clients environment and I'll post the feedback!! Best Regards, Roberto Bruno Neto Security+, MCSA
