Title: How to tell if FileVault is being used on a computer
I am trying to come up with a way to look at our Macs remotely and tell whether they are using FileVault for any of the users on the system. Is there some file or files that would only be present if FileVault was in use? Or maybe a plist file that lists users that are using FileVault? So far I have not been able to find anything.
I do know that /Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.keycahin (and .cer) will be present if a master password is set. However, you could have a master password set and still not using FileVault for any users.
Also, when you turn FileVault for a user there is an entry in /Volumes/.com.apple.FileVault created for that user. However, if that user turns off FileVault, it doesn’t seem to remove that entry.
Any ideas?
