I have a completely private network where we perform PXE based installation. After thousands of times of entering usernames and passwords to get to the OS choices, fingers become numb. I know that it is not best practice to remove the logon screens, but how do I do this? is it possible? I have read through the material at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739932.aspx around designing custom RIS experiences, but it recommends not to remove the logon screen, presumably for security purposes which, again, are not a concern here. Any help is appreciated. Harold

I apoligize if this question has been asked, but I didn't see it when I searched the forum and elsewhere on the web. I have a laptop that I have been considering Whole Drive Encryption on for a while. The options that I am aware of are PGP Whole Drive Encryption, TrueCrypt, and BitLocker. I have Vista Ultimate and BitLocker is one of the big reasons I got Ultimate, but BitLocker doesn't seem to be as straight forward as some of the other options which is irratating. My laptop does not have a TPM chip. From what I have read, this means that to use BitLocker I must use a USB drive to store the key. Before I go any further down this road, I have …
