Re: Using Bitlocker

We're starting to use BitLocker as a replacement for TrueCrypt (using Virtual Drive files).  My only complaint is that 
it's a bit unwieldy; you have to get into disk management in order to mount/unmount drives.

Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternate front-end?

I am thinking of using Bitlocker on systems for persons who handle sensitive information.  I am just enquiring, if 
anyone has used Bitlocker in any implementation, and any issues you had  or concerns?
