I need to enable FileVault 2 on all of the Macs. Is there a good how-to on doing this? Is there a way to have a company-owned decryption key that can unlock the FV2 encrypted Macbook when the employee leaves and we don't have the user password?

This workflow still works for us.

The only gotcha I would mention with the Jamf workflows is that if the user doesn't have a secure token for some reason, any attempt to enable FV will fail. I have yet to see a robust way of managing secure tokens to address issues with accounts being created or passwords changed in a way that leads to a disabled secure token.
