Hi all,

I have been bashing my head against this all day, for some reason when trying to enable filevault via a Configuration Policy it just doesnt seem to work. The policy goes down to the machine but it doesnt look like the institutional key goes down, when i reboot the mac it asks for admin creds to enable FileVault but then pops up with a "There was a problem enabling FileVault. Please use SysPreferences>Security to enable", logs dont really seem to be showing anything and when running fdesetup hasinsitutionalkey it shows as "false",

Can someone point to where i have possibly gone wrong here?

Have resolved this now by stripping out the configuration and creating a policy instead,
