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

    While the SGE decryption option is handy when needing to perform data recovery, when it comes to SGN it really isn't needed anymore. Unless you have another reason for removing the encryption which would be very helpful if you posted so we can give you the best response.

    There are a few ways to perform data recovery with SGN. If you use driving slaving then that method will give you quick access to the protected data without removing the protection. Two benefits are saved time and maintaining the protection.

    Another way to recovry data is using the WinPE 2.0 disc with the SGN drivers and libraries. Since you metioned you are looking for another method than the C/R to access the encrypted disk try using the WinPE recovery disc with POA authentication. Take a look at this KB Article for details on how to execute the recovery process. KBA #108555

    What that KBA overlooks is the situaion when POA is disabled. During the boot process, when the display reads that the auto user is logging in or please wait for auto logon hit the F2 key. That will bring POA up and then login.

    Happy holidays!!!
