@Aaron,

TrueCrypt is a great product for individual use. But in a larger
environment, it lacks significant enterprise deployment tools. IT staff can
back up the Volume Header of encrypted disks for central management, but it
requires direct contact with each system. There is no support for remote
management, monitoring, or maintenance. Definitely use it at home and in
smaller environments. (For small organizations it's hard to beat the
price.) But I wouldn't recommend it for any type of enterprise rollout.

Hi All,

Has anyone deployed or has experience with TrueCrypt<http://www.truecrypt.org/>?
 If so are you happy with it?  Any things you would have changed or
pitfalls?

Best,
