[dba-Tech] Encryption

Utimaco Safeguard is pretty reliable, unless you need to change your windows
password, and rely on the user doing it before it's forced and their laptop
isn't connected to the network. Then you're buggered... We have one user who
does this repeatedly, so every month it's the same routine - she has to
send/bring the laptop to us from her site (80 miles away) and I log in with
the admin account to fix it. It's a PITA...

Shame they're not on Windows 7, because Bitlocker is really easy to use, and
the encryption key is written to the domain, so I shows up in the computer
account in "Users & Computers" in the Admin Tools.

I have a client who needs encryption. They are presently on WinXP. Does
anyone have experience with an encryption program for XP that works well and
is reliable?
