So our organization got the new PGP 10.3 with the new WinPE tools with 64 bit support. (THANK YOU!)
I was able to make a new WinPE 3.1 on a UFD and used pgppe to add the tools into my boot.wim file and I can now authorize myself to a PGP encrypted disk using 64bit WinPE. yay!
So I need to take it one step further. How do I do a system restore on a PGP encrypted Win7 64 bit system?
So what I did was this:
1. Made a 2nd stick, but instead of winpe.wim, I extracted the WinRE.wim file from our Win7 64bit ISO
2. used pgppe to add pgp tools to the WinRE.wim
3. I am able to boot up my WinRE stick. WinRE cannot initially see the encrypted C drive so I get to a command prompt, run pgpwde --disk 0 --auth -p XXXX to authorize myself. I can now see the contents of the C drive
4. I run winpeshl.exe to invoke the recovery environment again. WinRE is now able to see my OS.
5. But when I run system restore, it fails to see any restore points. I boot back up normally without WinRE and verify that there are in fact, multiple restore points available. In addition, I manually create a restore point. I boot back into WinRE, but it still fails to see any restore points even though I've authorized myself to the encrypted drive and can see the OS.
What am I missing? I have yet to mess around with the MSDart tools, is it preferrable to add the PGP tools to MSDart and use that instead for recovery?
I realize this isn't specifically a problem with PGP since the pgp tools appear to work fine, but my google searching is not netting me any results so I figured I might find help here.
Thanks in advance!
