Problem
Issue #143 reports that the script fails silently on FileVault-encrypted Macs. The data volume can't be written to until unlocked, so all dscl/hosts/profile operations fail with no clear error.
Additionally:
Changes
FileVault auto-detect: Before any write operations, the script detects FileVault using two signals (keychain file + diskutil output). If enabled, prompts for the recovery key or volume password and unlocks with
diskutil apfs unlockVolume.User-level artifact cleanup: After removing system config profiles, iterates all users on the Data volume and removes MDM preferences and caches (
com.apple.mdm.plist,com.apple.mdmclient.plist,com.apple.enrollmenttool).Smarter volume detection: System volume is found by looking for
SystemVersion.plistacross all mounted volumes, not by hardcoded name. Data volume falls back to APFS listing.Expanded blocking: Added
albert.apple.comandgdmf.apple.comto the hosts blocklist.Restored missing menu options: "Disable Notification (SIP)", "Disable Notification (Recovery)", and "Check MDM Enrollment" were missing from the menu in the original script — restored.
Testing
Tested on macOS 26 Tahoe with FileVault enabled (Apple Silicon M4). Unlock flow works with both recovery key and volume password. Reboot no longer triggers re-enrollment after user artifact cleanup.
