    Hi,

    The product I have had the most success with is called
    SafeBoot, from Control Break International.

    The enterprise version of this product gives you the
    normal fully encrypted hard-drive, with a password required
    to start the system etc. but it also lets you control
    who has access to the system remotely. When the laptop
    connects to the network (lan, dial-up, vpn etc.) it talks
    to an enterprise console, and you can set things such as
    who can start the laptop, who can logon etc. Its really
    nice in that you can flag a user as disabled, and the
    next time they connect to the network, this setting is
    updated on the laptop, and they are instantly locked out!

    Its one of those products that "just works". Give it
    a try. I'm not related to the company, just a consultant
    with many customers satisfied with this product.
