Hi all!
Sophos Safeguard Enterprise was pushed out by corporate, and my local facilty has had nothing but headaches with it. I've used TrueCrypt on several different laptops with no issues and fast boot times.
On to my question:
I work in a healthcare setting, and my users are very speed dependant. Is there something I can do locally to improve boot times? It takes a full 2 minutes from power on until the desktop in ready on a Latitude 6420/Win7 64bit/2.6GHz Core I5I/4 GB Ram.... Is there anything I can do locally with these encrypted laptops? Hibernate seems to only work about 1/2 the time, if it works on that hardware at all. Particularly we have some Latitude 2110 and 2120 netbooks... Boot times are even slower than the 6420s (assumably because of slower processors), and if they hibernate, Windows won't resume; user has to power cycle, and then choose Delete Restoration data option.... Worthless!!! What's the point of hibernate if you lose everything anyway?
Since this was pushed to our facility by corporate, I had no involvement in choosing the product or determining if ALL of our hardware would work..... Anyone have some advice for how we can make the best of a bad situation using this product (SGN 5.4 and 5.5).... I've had to reformat 3 laptops completely, figure out what driver issue was the problem, and some we'll just have to replace. What a headache!... Oh, and what's the nonsense with it asking you to login to the SG server after you've already logged in to Windows? It won't take your password, but if you click Cancel, it says it logged you on successfully?? Really? I fail to understand why that extra login even pops up, if all you have to do is click Cancel. Garbage product, IMHO.
Thanks!
