Sapran,

We use and resell pointsec (now a check point company). The reason I suggest this is because it provides centralized management and remote support (supports single sign-on using windows passwd, includes remote support utilities in case users get locked out).

Subject: FDE solution for laptops

Hi list!

I am in search of a solution for full disk encryption. The main goal
is to protect data stored at travelling managers' laptops from loss
and/or theft of device.

I had tried the shiny new TrueCrypt 5 with system drive/partition
encryption, but it made an OEM XP boot into safe mode only, so I guess
that's not a right choice.

I will appreciate any help on topic.

Here come some details:
1) We use mostly Dells: Inprisons, Inspirons and Vostros.
2) The encryption must be easily recoverable using rescue CD/DVD or smth.
