I spent the better part of Monday trying to make a simple AppleScript application that could act as an all-in-one Disk Encryption enabler/checker utility.

All the AppleScript app does, really, is run a shell script nestled inside. The shell script spits out dialogs with fdesetup status, and if the status is something other than FileVault is On. it will run a custom trigger for the JSS to run and configure an institutional FileVault 2 policy.

You can see the script here. Detailed blog post forthcoming.
