FileVault 2 and the Imaging Process

[michaelmcgaw]

So, if I get a machine returned to me from a "user-who-is-no-longer" which contains an FV2 protected volume (the recovery key is unknown), is there any way to just re-image that machine?

I know how to manually remove the CS logical volume group that contains the FV2 protected volume, but that's a very manual process and I'm hoping there's some way that can be handled "automagically" with Casper Imaging.

I thought Casper Imaging already handled this case, or at least the recent versions, no? It should be able to repartition/reformat the drive regardless if there's a CoreStorage volume on it or not.
We use DeployStudio and added a script to run prior to the actual imaging steps that just does a repartition on the drive.

I know at the very least you can netboot and then erase the encrypted drive with disk utility.

I second kstick.

I normally netboot or boot or an external drive and use disk utility to wipe and reformat the drive.
