Thanks for the quick response.

I have another question qbout security for you
It's a simple one,
How does the NAP Health server directs me to a quarnatined Network when my
health certificate is inadiquate? Does it tells my DHCP Server to change my
IP? Or maybe tells the switch hardware to move me to a VLAN?

Thanks.

The only difference I can see is if only the hard drive is stolen. And
you're right, if the whole computer is stolen, and BitLocker is still in
transparent mode, it will still be transparent.

Please tell me, is there any difference of running a Laptop with a "TPM
Transparent" Bitlocker state (Without the use of PIN\USB) and not running
Bitlocker at all?
I mean, if the computer get stolen, the thief could read the info on the
drive because the TPM handels the encryption.

Compared to a USB flash drive, the TMP chip is integrated into the
motherboard and "always plugged in". If you have a TMP, you can also add a
PIN/password to be typed in when the computer starts (in addition to any
passwords on user accounts).

I don't think you can read an encrypted hard drive without the encryption
key, but I haven't tried. I'll try it now and let you know.

I have two question that i need to clarify?
First, How not having a TPM chip affects bitlocker? is it the early-boot
component that i require? because i understand that i CAN use a USB for this

Second, if i take a Bitlocker encripted disk and plug it as a secondary
drive on another computer, how can i read it (For restore purposes)

Thanks.
