Endpoint Encryption

Hi all

I am trying to decrypt PDP 10.x encrypted drive on an XP machine as a art of an OS deployment with SCCM 2012 (non bootable media process). I can start the process by running the

PGPwde.exe --decrypt --passphrase ""passphrase"" --disk 0 --dedicated-mode"

works fine. what I cannot find is a way to detect when the process is done, so i can reboot. The PGPwde.exe process runs only until the actual decryption starts. is there any hidden command line to run the reboot pst decryption? Any other suggestions how to effeciently do this?

Thank you.

if you know scripting you can just run shutdown.exe /r on the next line, itll then run the shutdown.exe /r one the PGPwde.exe command has completed, i.e. when decryption is done.

I solved this with scripting ' ***************************************************************************** ' ' Decrypt a PGP drive prior of ZTI Deployment.
