Message level encryption function can be determined by the creating the following registry values on the TEM Client.

HKLM\Software\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\GlobalOptions
String "EncryptedCarbonCopyPath" value data should be an existing directory e.g. "c:\directory name"

The value will output an encrypted version of the Client reports in the specified directory.

The files generated should not be in plain text and should have a .enc prefix on them.

Please note that Wireshark can read .enc files but can not open a TEM Client encrypted report. The .enc files must be opened with a text editor to be read.

Example of an encrypted Client report:
