Joe and Sam, Thanks for the suggestions, will check both out. Obviously I am not the only one experiencing issues with this product.
...ahh Symantec, good salespeople, below average performance. Too bad they have the IT director on speed dial. -troy -----Original Message----- From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 11:56 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Symantec Endpoint -- does it work? Troy, If encryption is your goal, have you looked at GuardianEdge? We use it for our laptops, and it also does not require formatting the drive, and will encrypt the entire disk.

Dave, We installed this into test last week. We haven't successfully completed an encryption yet, but will later this week. (Endpoint Encryption Full Disk) During this process it has seemed like the product was not quite ready for show time. We are pre-sale and our rep still had a hard time finding a support engineer for us when we had issues. We ended up waiting a week and finally had a call-back scheduled. Our issue was running W2K3 sp2. It requires sp1 but wont work on sp2 until ADAM is updated. We also found an error in the install manual concerning the ADAM instance name, it MUST match the install docs, even though they say choose what you would like. On a positive note, deployment and configuration using group policy is very simple and makes sense if you have been using the GPMC for a while. Its still one of the only products for full disk encryption that doesn't require a format and works on XP, so we will continue to work it and push towards implementation on our external laptops. -troy From: David Florea, SysAdmin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 11:35 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Symantec Endpoint -- does it work? Anyone got any experiences with Symantec Endpoint 11? Just wondering if it's any improvement or not.
