+100 That's what I've been doing for several years. I let the servers do the heavy lifting and keep most of my files on tha SAN. In fact, I use a Thin Client running Windows CE on my desk for the majority of my computing needs. It proves a point that I can use the same computing resources as what I provide to my end users from just about anywhere in the world and still get my job done. Yes, there are exceptions, but not many, and most of those are specific to my job.
I reserve my laptop for more resource intensive apps (like pac-man and pong). Sorry couldn't resist given the threads this week and last. Cheers! Jonathan L.

Don’t keep anything of value on a laptop. Only run laptops client/server (VPN or TS or whatever). Alex From: Jeff Brown [mailto:2jbr...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2010 10:58 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: laptop encryption There was a post last week about HIPAA compliance and a small part of that discussion there were a couple of encryption programs mentioned. 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.
