Second is, look into applying a Config Profile that prevents disabling FileVault from the GUI. So it puts some peace of mind there for you for that. If done right, the local fdesetup policy applied will pick up the key and redirect it to the JSS for escrow instead of it not being escrowed and presented on screen to the user.

One is Recovery key redirection in the JSS, which helps in those cases where someone decides they want to set up FileVault manually. Are they even using any type of directory service based accounts to log in with, or are they local accounts?Īs for FileVault, I suggest looking into two things to go along with it No firmware pass, no FV2, running an unauthorized and probably unprotected copy of Windows in BootCamp. Sounds like right now these Macs are a security nightmare for you. I would go ahead with the plan to get FileVault enabled for them, as that will add some level of security. If one of them has a boot issue that would necessitate booting to Recovery HD to run a fix, you're in a pickle. That would be ideal, and we actually put in an official request with Apple to look into that, but that was years ago and I don't think they will ever do it.

FileVault encryption does prevent that for the most part, which we also use, but the combo of both in place means the machines are well protected, so for now at least, it remains.Īs an aside, its unfortunate that Apple hasn't developed a special firmware "mode" where Recovery HD and maybe Safe mode could be used without needing a password, but still prevent removal of the fw password or booting from an external disk unless you knew the firmware password in the first place. The problem is that without one in place, it allows someone with enough Mac technical skill to boot the machine from another volume and try to gain access to data stored on the HD among other things. We're required to have them on all our Macs since they are 99% laptops and our security office is adamant about it, but it does hamper things for those remote workers who run into problems. As mentioned above, it does put a snag in things because it means users can't self resolve issues by booting to Recovery HD and running a disk repair for example. If they are alone with no local support, then I can completely understand the concern with putting a fw password on them.

One thing that I find annoying is the Home edition not supporting Remote Desktop which I use to access a headless Windows 10 WAMP server (a Mac mini).Let me ask you, is there any IT staff out at the location where these Macs are used, or are these users essentially on their own? If its the former, you could give local IT staff the firmware password in the event of any boot issues, with clear instructions to never give it to a user.

I must say Windows 10 is very nice and simple to use after decades of hating Windows with a passion I actually enjoy using it, albeit only on a Mac and my Mac Pro cylinder runs Steam and the likes of GTA V very well indeed. The easiest by far was a new Mac Pro cylinder which literally did everything unattended up to where the Windows welcome screen takes over. All good fun but not one Mac I used was the same procedure. This I cured by actually removing the partition Boot Camp had created using Terminal and allowing Windows to see a area of 'free space' which it then formatted correctly and went well after that. Each Mac seems to have different methodologies and some such as my Mac mini 2012 failed at the last stage due to an EFI issue according to the Windows installation setup.

I've added Boot Camp and Windows 10 to a whole bunch of Macs ranging in age I would add that a MacBook Pro 2010 cannot use an iso insisting on using an optical disk.
