Big Sur - FV2 deferred enablement is not working - Beta 1

We have started testing FileVault 2 Enablement workflows.

At least 6 MacAdmins have attempted to test different workflows (Script, MDM Profile & Policy) and we have been unable to get deferred FV2 enablement working.

After installing MDM Client logging I am seeing a few entries of note.

fdesetup: Volume appears to be APFS
Jun 29 16:03:31[5031:0]:::::::::::::::::: fdesetup: no user approved profile was passed
Jun 29 16:03:31[5031:0]: fdesetup: Exit status: 20

fdesetup: defer username was NULL


  1. Setup the FV2 enablement policy

  2. Login

  3. You can never reach the desktop, kicks you back to the login window.
