Endpoint Encryption

I have a client that is running Microsoft SBS2011.

They need to encrypt their server for security reasons.

Is Symantec Drive Encryption for Windows Server compatible with SBS2011?

Thanks!

Hi wolftgadmin,

If the operating system (OS) is not mentioned in the release notes, it is not supported.
This doesn't mean that it won't work. It means it was not evaluated by the Quality Assurance team and can have unpredictable effects. Thus we cannot claim support on that OS.

Unfortunately, according to the release notes, Microsoft SBS2011 is Not supported.
(Drive Encryption is one of the flavors of Symantec Encryption Desktop.)

Please see: Symantec Encryption Desktop 10.3.2 for Windows Release Notes - DOC7053.

I would STRONGLY recommend not encrypted an SBS server.  Trying to run Exchange, AD, DHCP, DNS, SharePoint, all that stuff on a single box makes SBS installs struggle at the best of times.  Adding an encryption layer to the top of that and you're asking for a lot.  

You need to ask the client what the purpose of whole disk encrypting a server that's always on.  All the data is freely accessible to anyone who has phyiscal or network access to the server, you aren't protecting anything.

Good point Alex_CST!
