I'm not sure if I'm missing anything, but is there a way to build a smart group off of the FileVault 2 Status from the Storage information?



In the Computer information from Inventory, I see the status if I click on the Storage section, but if I drill down in the smart group creation in the Storage Information section, I don't have an option for Status is "decrypting."



I do have an EA for FV2 status (Thanks Rich!), but I was wondering if I was missing another way to do it.

If you have Rich's EA in place, just build your Smart Group from the status returned from the EA, not from the built in Casper reported data. That's basically what we do.

I recently updated my EA because I noticed that I wasn't getting the status back when I was decrypting on 10.8.x. The fixed version is here on my GitHub repo:

Thanks Rich! I just grabbed that and it is returning the 10.8 status as decrypting.
