Remote management system can decrypt bulk PGP desktop machine

[Junaid Ahmed]

Hi community,

I would like to know if there is a way to send commands to multiple machines using Active Directory. Specifically, I'm interested in methods such as Group Policy, PowerShell, or utilizing tools like SCCM, Avanti, Zinstall, or any other solutions that might facilitate this process.

Hi Junaid,
Generally speaking, it's not a good idea to mass decrypt systems.

It's difficult to control which machines are left decrypted and there is a fair bit of risk involved for systems that are left unencrypted.

We don't recommend doing this, but if you would like to reach out to Symantec Encryption Support, we can provide more details on this and would be happy to review with you.

I'd rather not go over methods to mass decrypt--it's just not a good idea generally.

Thanks,
