Can you actually encrypt only a secondary partition on the local hard drive?  I.e. User does NOT want to encrypt the C: drive but would like to encrypt the D: drive on all laptops.

Really...

That's interesting.  Another Symantec SE said it was completely possible.  The manual makes NO indication that this isn't possible and leads the user to believe that it could work that way.

Clarification.

SEE encrypts the OS drive. If the OS drive was labeled D then it would encrypt D.

Blenky, Let me give you an

Blenky,

Let me give you an example - if you have a client machine with a single HDD on it and has four partitions C - D - E - F. Now if you want to encrypt only E and F. Then it is possible. No matter if you install SEE on C or on any other drive. To make this possible -- while you are creating client HDD package (on the server) then you need to specify which partitions you want to encrypt.

By default you have three options - encrypt all - encrypt specific partitions and let the user decide. Here you can choose second option and enter E and F. Install SEE on the client machine and by default SEE will encrypt only E and F. The access and recover utlity will also work fine. This example was for SEE 7.0.4.

Thanks
