Michael, Thanks for the warning on not using it. With my first research we couldn't use BitLocker on the cluster servers since they don't have TPM chips installed. Found the following article to use BitLocker without TPM<http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/6229/how-to-use-bitlocker-on-drives-without-tpm/>.

Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Cameron Cooper [mailto:[email protected]]<mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2012 1:49 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Encrypting a 2008 R2 Clustered File Server All, We're in the process of migrating all of our company servers from server 2003 to server 2008 R2. We've installed and configured two Server 2008 R2 Enterprise cluster servers with a failover cluster role and are connected to a MD3000 storage. Here's what we're looking to do... we're going to create network shares that are dependent on dept. and user access (ie.... Someone from our researching dept. doesn't need to see/have access to accounting dept. share) and encrypt the entire file server. We also want the encrypt/decrypt to be transparent to the end user. First question: Has anyone used EFS with AD RMS with network shares? Has this worked and how easy was it to setup? Second question: Is there a recommended encryption solution that someone has implemented?
