We deployed 70ish in our department with the keys being managed by the upper level IT on campus. For the most part, it's pretty straightforward as far as install. The one time I needed a recovery key it was taken care of right way with minimal downtime to the end user. The area I was frustrated with were specifically related to reboot which stuck on a greyscreen after a nightly reboot, until the user came in the next time. Sometimes this might be a week or longer the machine doesn't respond to ping or install any additional updates. Also the area of password changing was a challenge. There were times that the user might change their Windows password and it not replicate to PGP which might require to use their previous password one time the next reboot. This just created confusion. Other than that, it did the job we needed it to.

I'd like to hear from anyone who has deployed PGP Whole Disk Encryption and/or NetShare along with Universal Server. We're looking at a few options, one of which is PGP, and I'm looking for real-world war stories regarding how your rollout and support went. We're looking at WDE for several hundred users, so the trial we did of a few desktops doesn't really give us enough information to get a feel for what the product will be like once deployed en masse. thanks, jeff
