Sophos Data Protection Suite - Disk Encryption Question

AndyBolton

For years now I have used Sophos AV and to be honest its one of the best - so when Sophos combined the whole security suite including Disk Encryption, I thought it was time to try it.

We use Sophos Enterise Console (latest Version) to deploy, manage and look after out Sophos Estate

I have now started testing the encryption software on a couple of laptops and generally its looking really good - my question is

How do I uninstall the encryption software once it is installed - I can find no documentation that explains how or even if you can uninstall - this process will be pivital to my company going past the testing stages

I look forward to any comments

Regards

Andy Bolton

    Hello Andy,

    I'm not (yet) actually using SGDE and only run a few tests late in the Beta - mostly concentrating on what happens if you have SGDE installed and enable Bitlocker (the result "don't do it!" :smileywink:). I did uninstall from the client but honestly I don't remember the details. But I'm pretty sure that at one point I uninstalled from Program and Features (as I remember the two parts - Configuration and the software itself). Maybe someone using it will comment. Perhaps you need to apply an "empty" policy, decrypt (if it's not done automatically - I'm not sure) and then you'll be able to uninstall.
