What about looking at Intels' VPro technology on newer laptops. I believe two benefits are out of band management, hardware based encryption, and ability to remove encryption keys from drives if lost or stolen based on policies and "checking in" with a management server. I heard about it last week and it seems very intriguing. Regards, Paul Paul Muhlbach, A+, CNA, MCSE, MCT APM Computer Services Camrose, AB Phone 403-894-5802 email: pmuhl...@apmcomp.com

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.
