RE: TrueCrypt
TrueCrypt works very well for us. I have it installed on all computers, and on a number of external USB hard drives and flash drives. Even when VIPRE quarantined critical system files a while back and the PC wouldn't boot, it wasn't difficult to get around. I pulled the drive, slapped it into a Black Widow external dock, mounted the drive, and copied the files back. Took about 15 minutes per machine and was a lot faster than reimaging. You do lose any centralized management, and you can't remote boot the computer (well you can, but you can't get past the encryption screen remotely) - but for $0 vs. $100-$150 per seat, it was an acceptable tradeoff for us.

We have it installed on 3 laptops so far and have no complaints, but one of the owners wants the answer to this question: If a drive becomes unusable(physical issue with the drive) will this make it impossible for us to recover data from that drive? anyone out there able to speak to this question? thanks for any help.

I don't know how much they get used but they were gotta haves at the time. Never had to replace or service one so that's either a good sign or an indication they aren't used...not quite sure which. :) - Andy O.

We have a marketing guy that's on the road quite a bit, and wants to be able to print from his vehicle if need be. This is not an absolute requirement, but an option... I've looked at HP and I believe Lexmark. Neither received higher than 8/10. Any other ones I should look at?

RE: Terminal Server 2003 and IE's Enhanced Security Configuration
I have one GPO for terminal server users. I glanced back at the settings yesterday and did not see it. I also downloaded Microsoft's white paper and sample admin template to turn it off and applied it. It still stubbornly refuses to go away. I guess I'll try Microsoft's first suggestion in one of their knowledge base articles: rebuild the box. Thanks for everyone's help. Kyle B.
