Encryption / win 7 login

Lewok

needing a wee bit of advice.

We have just upgraded our software to include safe gaurd encryption. it worked fine on xp but now we are testing on win 7 machines i have hit a snag.

on the login screen you have the 2 options one with the sophos icon and one without.  If i use the one with sophos i am stright in and working away. if i use the other one i get the sophos authentication screen to complete my login.

is there a way to force my users to use this option and this option only? putting their password in twice isn't an option.

I have removed power on authentication as we need to wake the machines up remotley.

thanks

    Hello lee,

    I don't think there should be such a delay - did you notice it also with POA enabled (this would normally be configured to pass through the credentials)?

    disabling POA is the best for us. it makes it simple for updating

    Encryption is about protecting the data on the machine in case it goes missing. If you have physical access to a running (or even rebootable) machine you don't need much more than a little bit of time to get the data off it ...
