4 In the Properties dialog, click the FileVault 2 tab to view the FileVault 2 encryption information

for the Mac. The properties are:

• Hardware ID. Contains the Mac hardware ID.

• Serial Number. Contains the Mac serial number.

• Personal Key. Contains the personal recovery key (will be blank if an institutional key was

used).

• Institutional key. Contains the SHA1 fingerprint of the institutional key certificate (will be

blank if a personal key was used).

• LVGUUID. The UUID of the logical volume group.

• LVUUID. The UUID of the logical volume.

• PVUUID. The UUID of the physical volume.

5 Copy the value of the Personal key property. If the property doesn't have a value but the

Institutional key property underneath it does, then this Mac was encrypted with an institutional

key. For institutional key instructions, please read Recovering Encrypted Disk Using

Institutional Key (p. 71).

If You Can't Find the Mac in Any of the Collections

If the Mac is no longer assigned to the Configuration Manager site (i.e. you can't find it in any of the

device collections), you can still retrieve the personal recovery key for it from the Parallels Mac

Management database (p. 153). The FileVault 2 encryption records are never deleted from it even

for the

Macs that are no longer assigned to the site.

To retrieve the personal key for an unassigned Mac:

1 In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to Assets and Compliance / Parallels Mac

Management.

2 Right-click FileVault 2 Encryption Information and then click Properties.

3 In the FileVault 2 Encryption Information dialog, enter the Mac's serial number of hardware

ID. Click Search.

4 If the Mac was previously encrypted, a dialog will open containing the FileVault 2 encryption

properties for this Mac.

5 Copy the value of the Personal key property.

Unlock the Disk Using the Personal Recovery Key

Once you have the personal recovery key, you can use it to unlock the encrypted disk:

1 Boot your Mac from the Recovery HD partition by holding down Command –R.

2 Use the following command to list the available Core Storage volumes:
