GUS
GUS is a command line version of the GUI Upgrade Policy Builder highlighted in Creating an upgrade policy. Both the GUI and the command line application allow you to generate an update policy to prevent the FDE administration password from being entered in the command line in plain text for the purpose of silently upgrading or removing Matrix42 Full Disk Encryption.
Usage
Follow these steps to create an update policy (encrypted Matrix42 FDE administration password):
- Open a command prompt and navigate to the Helper Applications directory in the download package (or to wherever the Helper Applications directory is located).
- Enter the following command to encrypt the Matrix42 FDE administration password and save it in policy form:
GUS <FDE admin password> <full path, file name, and extension>
For example:
GUS 12345678 C:\update.upd
Example upgrade policy usage
The update policy can then be included in a batch file as follows:
msiexec.exe /i "<full MSI file path, name, and extension>" UPGDPOLICY="<full policy path, name, and extension>" /l* "<full log file path, name, and extension>" /passive
