Mojave and FileVault from configuration profile

We just discovered this same issue today. We have been blocking Mojave installs, but just received a repaired Mac back from Apple that was returned with Mojave installed. When trying to re-add our FileVault config profile (which escrows the recovery key to our on-prem JSS), the profile fails to install (JAMF Pro 10.8).

Anyone else know of a fix?

Have got the same. The escrow does not work at encryption.

However running https://github.com/homebysix/jss-filevault-reissue works and the redirect works.

Looking into it the problem it appears that the /var/db/FileVaultPRK.dat is not made after the FV2 Encryption is finished.

Hi All, This appears to be fixed in 10.14.2

not yet im having issue with it now. Not being able to configure or run filevault. This is what shows in the log files

Error: A problem occurred while trying to enable FileVault. (-69576)

That’s a different problem. Not the recovery key

Has there been any update on this? I'm working on this now and getting this error:

[WARNING] FileVault key was generated, but escrow cannot be confirmed. Please verify that the redirection profile is installed and the Mac is connected to the internet.

I am having similar issues myself, when testing https://github.com/homebysix/jss-filevault-reissue it worked on 10.11 0 to 10.13.6.

So when testing that method on 10.14.4 the keys are not escrowing in.

Has anyone else had a similar experience

@k84 - I'm seeing the same behaviour.

Escrow is working fine for me in 10.14.4.

Are these upgrades to 10.14 ? If so try reapplying the escrow profile and see if that helps

I know it's obvious but just in case, did you create a new payload for Mojave escrow key under "Security & Privacy"?
if it still doesn't escrow, restart the machine and do recon, It might fix the problem

you ever create the config profile and test and test and get nowhere, then realize you forgot to add the scope? Asking for a friend.

^^^ :)

Escrowing immediately on 10.14.5 for me. I am, however, seeing a different issue, whereby, after the FileVault config profile is applied to the machine, at the next user logout they successfully put in their password to initiate the encryption, it comes up with a message displaying the recovery key but they can't click the 'Continue' button using the mouse or keyboard of the machine, the mouse cursor doesn't appear. I had to remote to the screen and click it using Apple Remote Desktop.

Anyone else seeing that? Probably just me :(

EDIT: Found this actually only occurs on desktop Macs, whereas it's fine on MacBooks.

Nope. Happens on MacBooks as well. Just pushed the profile to 2 machines and it did the same thing on both.

Is happening to me too. I'm working on migrating our FV2 from just a policy to a config profile. Everything looked like it went fine, until that first reboot. FWIW, I was able to force kill the machine and it then continued with the encryption process, and did escrow the key, but that's not an acceptable user experience.

I just opened a support ticket to see if this is a known PI..

I saw the same thing, older iMac grayed out 'Continue' buttons and newer iMac good buttons. I assumed it's a macOS issue.
