    Hi

    We are trying to find a centrally manageable solution that we can deploy
    to 2000 Laptop users.

    The majority of our users also make frequent use of the hibernation
    function within WinXP.

    The problem lies with the fact that we can't seem to get a hard drive
    encryption tool that will enable users to continue to use the
    hibernation function.

    We have 2 options that I can recommend; bin the hibernation
    functionality or use a file and folder level encryption product, neither
    of which are the ideal solution for the situation.

    I am sure we are not the first to come across this problem, so I was
    wondering how anyone else has overcome it.

    Apparently the people who make entire hard-drive encryption products are
    aware of the issue and are working with MS to get it sorted, but how
    long that will take is anyone's guess.

    Any help or advice is appreciated..

    Thanks

    JM
