Boot to Windows PE in Task Sequence

Question

Hello, 
 
 I intend to re image several hundred devices and need to pull user data off using SCCM task sequence. I have already worked with support and they gave me a document to skip through the POA on startup and use FLTdoNothing.exe to "unlock" the drive. My issue is, it does not see the disk (I am assuming) because of the POA? Any ideas out there on how to do this? My task sequence works great on an Unencrypted machine. 
 
 thanks

Hi Patrick, 
 Please help me with the following" 
 1. Is the drive slaved? 
 2. Is the drive still on the machine? 
 3. Is the drive requiring a CR to log in? 
 4. Do you want to access the data on all 200 drives? 
 If the machine is still accessible you can just copy it from each machine. I believe the following information may help you with the current scenario. 
 
 1. Create a config file to disable Safeguards POA 
 2. Add SGE filter drivers to your boot.wi m (InstallSGE2WinPE20 .bat can do this for you - works fine with WinPE3.0) 
 3. Obtain FltDoNothing.exe from Sophos support 
 4. Mount your boot.wim and insert file into windows\system32\ folder 
 5. Add boot.wim to SCCM 
 6. In your task sequence add the disable POA to turn off before reboot 
 After rebooting into PE step - add command line %systemroot%\system32\FltDoNothing.exe 1 (before format and partition disk) 
 Task sequence will disable the safeguard filter drivers, then format drive, apply Windows 7 and everything else. Upon reboot, SGE will no longer be in the MBR and it will boot happily into Windows 7 unencrypted.
