Re: Product request - Enterprise whole disk encryption for laptops

I'm currently investigating whole disk encryption for laptops 
with confidential information.  In the event a user forgets 
his/her passphrase, we need a solution so administrators can 
retrieve the information off of the hard drive.

So far, I've looked at PGP Whole Disk Encryption for 
Enterprises which looks quite promising, but I was wondering 
if anyone has come across other more cost-effective solutions 
which work well.

Have you looked at TrueCrypt?  (http://www.truecrypt.org/)

Maybe also chase down some leads at
