How to obtain the Key Check Value requested by the Re-associate key option
Technical Articles ID:

Last Modified: 6/23/2017 Environment
McAfee Drive Encryption (DE) 7.1 All supported ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) releases For details of DE supported environments, see KB79422. Summary
When you attempt to re-associate a key in ePO, you are prompted to type the Key Check Value. This value is obtained from the client when you use a DETech.
Solution
In DE 7.0 and later, the Export recovery information based on Disk Keycheck option allows you to export a recovery information file (.xml) by specifying the Key Check Value retrieved from an encrypted disk using DETech/ EETech. You are no longer required to check in the DETOOLS.zip/EETOOLS.zip as you were with earlier releases. Obtain the Key Check Value from the client, then add that value in the ePO console. Client: Use a DETech CD to obtain the Key Check Value.
ePO console: To export the recovery key, click System Tree, Client, Actions, Drive Encryption, and select Export recovery information based on Disk Keycheck. Workaround
Use scripting to obtain the recovery file based on the key check value. See scripting guides for the relevant version. NOTE: Scripting is currently not supported and involves the engagement of professional services. Affected ProductsGlossary of Technical Terms |
