I pushed out a couple of machines without adequate testing, Actually was urged to do it, because I'm going on vacation next week midweek, through the following week, then it's 4th of July weekend. I hadn't walked through the encryption with either person, yet... Thank goodness. On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 2:14 PM, David Lum <david....@nwea.org> wrote: We nuke and pave, baby.

So I just verified that it is the same for E5420's stock... Do you typically uninstall the Dell apps, or did you in this case?

We use PGP Whole Disk Encryption (or whatever Sh*tmantec they want to label it now). I have downloaded their latest PGP desktop client and I simply need to add it to the PGP Universal Server. Should be a simple document, but Symantec insists I can't get the answer unless I talk to the specific tech person assigned to my case. I called them at 11am local, said I'd get a call right back, they left me a VM at 3:05pm local. I leave at 3PM...
