Agreed. There are too many situations where it's not feasible to expect that people can work with a permanent VPN/remote connection.

So, important people with laptops will almost certainly have important data on there for some period of time, if only until they can get it synced up with a better location. In the meantime, the data has to be protected. -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 4:39 PM, Alex Eckelberry <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Not the answer you're looking for, but what about a different thought? Don't keep anything of value on a laptop. Only run laptops client/server (VPN or TS or whatever).

I have bitlocker running on the OS's that happen to come with it, and need something for those that don't. Might consider OS upgrade if the encryption piece is too costly. anyone using something they LOVE? any chance there is a program that will report encryption status back to a management station? tiafah.
