If performing automated and mass deployments, use the tools described in Automated Deployments. This section describes automatic deployment information
specific to Full Disk Encryption.
Disable Encryption During Deployment
The table below explains how to disable
encryption centrally from one of the management consoles. Temporarily disable drive
encryption to minimize end user impact and simplify mass deployment. Once device
compatibility is confirmed, optionally re-enable encryption.

TipIf you are performing a mass deployment, to simplify installation and minimize user
impact, you may want to disable encryption. You can enable encryption at a later
time to encrypt all devices simultaneously or when fewer users may be affected.

Depending on your primary management console, do the following to disable encryption
during employment.
Console

Full Disk Encryption Script Example
The
following is an example script to use for automated deployment. Use Command
Line Helper to encrypt necessary credentials, and use Command Builder to
generate the deployment script.
For example, the following values are placed into Command Builder:
Hostname
|
PolicyServer.mycompany.com
|
Enterprise Name
|
MyCompany
|
Username
|
GroupAdministrator
|
Password
|
123456
|
Path to FDE Installer
|
C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\Full Disk
Encryption\TMFDEInstaller.exe
|
In this example, under Encryption Options, the fields
Username and Password
are selected.
Output to install Full Disk Encryption:
C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\ Full Disk Encryption\TMFDEInstaller.exe ENTERPRISE=MyCompany HOST= PolicyServer.mycompany.com eUSERNAME==jJUJC/Lu4C/Uj7yYwxubYhAuCrY4f7AbVFp5hKo2PR4O ePASSWORD==5mih67uKdy7T1VaN2ISWGQQ=
