• The following example silently uninstalls the Encryption client and downloads the encryptions keys using a Forensic Administrator
account.
DDPE_XXbit_setup.exe /s /x /v"CMG_DECRYPT=1 CMGSILENTMODE=1
FORENSIC_ADMIN=forensicadmin@organization.com FORENSIC_ADMIN_PWD=tempchangeit /qn"
MSI Command:
msiexec.exe /s /x "Dell Data Protection Encryption.msi" /qn CMG_DECRYPT=1 CMGSILENTMODE=1
FORENSIC_ADMIN=forensicadmin@organization.com FORENSIC_ADMIN_PWD=tempchangeit
REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS
Reboot the computer when nished.
IMPORTANT:
Dell recommends the following actions when using a Forensic Administrator password on the command line:
1 Create a Forensic Administrator account in the Remote Management Console for the purpose of performing the silent
uninstallation.
2 Use a temporary password for that account that is unique to that account and time period.
3 After the silent uninstallation has been completed, remove the temporary account from the list of administrators or change its
password.
NOTE:
Some older clients may require escape characters of \" around the values of parameters. For example:
DDPE_XXbit_setup.exe /x /v"CMG_DECRYPT=\"1\" CMGSILENTMODE=\"1\" DA_SERVER=
\"server.organization.com\" DA_PORT=\"8050\" SVCPN=\"administrator@organization.com\"
DA_RUNAS=\"domain\username\" DA_RUNASPWD=\"password\" /qn"
