fde control.exe get - status result

[Valerio5286]

Hello community.
I would like to know if there is documentation on the response statuses of the get-status command with the fde control tool for endpoints. I have tried to search but I can't find it, I attached an image as an example:

It's the same result for registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CheckPoint\EndPoint Security\Full Disk Encryption\Status\Current Boot\encryptionState = 3

I’ll ask internally.
I would also open a TAC case, however.

Hi phone boy.

Thank you for your support, today I opened a new TAC request.

Keep in touch.

Per the following thread:
https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Endpoint/Detecting-Check-Point-Disk-Encryption-with-NAC/m-p/2122...

encryptionState value which will contain 3 when the disk is encrypted.

Trying to see if can clarify meaning of other values

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CheckPoint\EndPoint Security\Full Disk Encryption\Status\Current Boot\encryptionState = 3 refers to drive being encrypted with fde  (note: in case of using a recovery media it doesnt update this registry key - This is an expected behavior - sk109933 -The decryption process is performed in the preboot environment, thus the registry value in Windows will not be changed)

Encryption State
0   Not encrypted
1   Partially encrypted
2   Encryption on all volumes
 
Encryption_X (Where X is a drive letter)
0 - 100  Percent Encrypted
 
Encryption Progress
0   Stable
1   Encrypting
2   Decrypting
 
Note: The Encryption_X key is only updated at reboot, and when reaching 25, 50, 75, and 100% of encryption for that drive.
 
Example: A machine that have just been installed and have drives undergoing encryption will have State 1 and Progress 1. During the initial encryption these will stay the same, but Encryption_X will change over time.
One that is not selected for encryption (f ex boot protection only) will be 0 and 0.
Example: A fully encrypted machine it will have State 2 and Progress 0, while Encryption_X keys will have value 100.
Example: A machine that is being decrypted (uninstalled) will have State 1 and Progress 2.
NB: All values above are listed as hexadecimal values, but are repesented by DWORDS in registry (binary). Encryption_X value of 100 is actually 0x64 (100).

Many thanks for the great post. Also, driven off feedback from this post there is a corresponding update on user documentation that is in progress

Following up with a copy of the section that will be updated in the user documentation and describes the fde control command and output
