Where can I find an escrowed FV2 Recovery Key in Fleetsmith?

  • Updated
As long as Fleetsmith is the source to encrypt a device, a FileVault 2 Recovery Key will be available in the Fleetsmith Admin Console.
 
To view an escrowed Recovery Key:
 
1. In the Fleetsmith Admin Console, click Devices.
2. Click the Device Name of the device you're working with.
3. On the individual device's page, click on the Device Details tab.
4. Under Health, find Encryption. Click the Show Key button. (This option will be available as long as Fleetsmith encrypted the device. If the device was encrypted prior to Fleetsmith, you will only see Managed. You can read more about why this happens here.)

If FileVault was enabled prior to Fleetsmith then Fleetsmith cannot escrow the existing key. You can re-encrypt your device through Fleetsmith by following the steps here.
