Hello All,

One of our departments was granted permission to use FileVault 2 for their whole disk encryption. While would not like to see them do that there is little I can do. That being said I put together some extension attributes for reporting information about the file vault 2 encryption and thought I would share them with everyone. There are five all together ( I kinda jet went crazy once I started, there were 6 at one time). Use the ones you need or find useful. They are attached in the zip file in this email. Feel free to change, or improve them, but if you do please post them back so others can share. If anyone has any questions please let me know.

Size Hard Drive - Shows (Size Total) of hard drive that will be encrypted in GB. (Use to compare the "FileVault 2 Size Converted" attribute.)
