Symantec Endpoint Encryption v11.0.1 Recovery Procedure from an UnExpected corruption of OS.

 

Important Note: 

 

Do & Don’ts for Symantec Endpoint Encryption

=> Never format “C” drive or System Boot Drive (Where OS is installed) without performing Decryption for all the drives. If “C”  drive or System Boot Drive (OS in installed) is formatted then data is unrecoverable from the remaining drives.

=> Never perform Windows Recovery / Windows Installation/ Third party Recovery without performing Decryption of Disc which will lead to Data Corruption & Unrecoverable.

=> Force Shutdown of System should be avoided which may lead to MBR Corruption.

 

Case study: Operation System is Corrupted and windows can’t boot normally, we will perform decryption of full disk using WinPE.

Steps to Follow.

 

1. Boot From WInPE Recovery Media USB.

If you don't know about WinPE recovery media Refer https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH223783.html

eedAdminCli --disk 0 --status --au username --ap password

Hello All

 

I have a issue with recovery USB, as you can see on this print screen.

I think it's on the usb key may I missed some things even I follow the steps.

Why I get this erro, as I can run eedAdminCli.exe  is not recognized.

 

Regards
