RE: Encrypting data on fileserver

Nick,

If you're in an AD environment, you already have the capability to do
this.  Ideally, you'd run a Server 2003 installation as your cert server
so you could escrow keys.

Check out Microsoft's recommendations on creating an internal PKI,
installing cert server, and key management best practices.

Best Regards,
Scott Ramsdell

Subject: Encrypting data on fileserver

Hello

My question is about encryption.
Aside from encrypting emails with PGP a long time ago my experience is
very limited on this field.
I have been asked to find solutions for encrypting the shares of the
company fileserver and I am not even sure this is possible.
Can I somehow encrypt the contents of a fileserver and then install a
client on the company workstations so that all this is invisible to the
end users?

Thank you
Nick Vaernhoej
