Thanks Ed,
The laptops use AD users with mobile accounts and are in OD groups that lock
them down like crazy. The machines also have open firmware passwords.
Our CIO has asked me to make the security on the Mac laptops more like that
of our Windows laptops which have their entire hard drives encrypted.
I know all this security sounds nuts, but our clients are requesting it.
I've been searching the web but haven't been able to find another
application that can do this for a Mac. I appreciate any ideas or insight.
Thanks again,
Dave
