We use TrueCrypt here on a couple removable drives and two laptops. For the laptops, we have the entire drive encrypted. So when the user powers up the laptop, they are prompted to enter in a password (right after the bios loads). Once the password is entered in the OS loads and if the user forgets or doesn't have the correct password then the OS won't load.

There are no plans, or funds to move up to 2008. We have an upcoming project that will require a location on our file server that encrypts folders and documents stored there. This project could last only a year, or up to 5, all depends on its success. The files will be uploaded from Outside customers, either via VPN or SFTP. I am looking at EFS, True Crypt or PGP. Anyone have opinions on which to use and why? Thanks! ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
