Deleting the FileVault Institutional Key

Due to changes in the philosophy of our security team, we'd like the delete the institutional keys off of our Macs. I have read Rich Trouton's extensive blog posts on this topic, and it appears it can be automated somewhat using a .plist file pre-populated with either the user's password or the individual FileVault key.

Can anyone think of a way to do this silently and without user interaction if you don't know the user's password or individual key? I'd like to make this invisible to the user.

Have you tried using the ‘fdesetup’ command to manipulate the encryption, decryption, and decryption of the disk. Or close FileVault

Use jamf manage default administrator to close

We manage FileVault with a configuration profile, so fdesetup can't be used to disable FV.
