Symanted Encryption Server didn’t have an option to suspend encryption.

“Nuke and Pave” might take additional dev time to determine “What is user data?” for USMT to be right.

Ultimately, we chose option F (a combination of options B and E).

Use a varying combinations of the above options.

Leverage the “/ReflectDrivers” command-line option.

Include the encryption drivers by modifying the setup command-line.

Nuke and Pave (treat it like bare metal or replacement scenario).

The most recent customer was running Windows 7 with Symantec Desktop Encryption (complete with the server component for management) for full disk encryption. And yes, I prefer the Microsoft solution for its ease of management and integration points. Either that or they implemented prior to BitLocker being ready for prime time and never bothered to change the solution. “Why?”… well… it’s most likely that they have a really good Symantec sales rep. Recently, I’ve had a few customers who use full disk encryption from Symantec (Symantec PGP, Symantec Endpoint Encryption, or Symantec Desktop Encryption) on client computers instead of Microsoft BitLocker.
