Issue/Introduction
Are there any known issues or concerns with encrypting the CB Protection application server and/or SQL Server using Microsoft's Bitlocker?
Environment
CB Protection Server: All Supported Versions
Microsoft SQL Server: All Supported Versions
Resolution
Carbon Black has not tested the effect of encryting the application server or the database server using Bitlocker
Microsoft engineers have informed us that there are no performance concerns from their perspective
As long as Bitlocker does not cause performance degredation, there are no concerns
Microsoft and Carbon Black both recommend stopping the CB Protection Server and any SQL Server services prior to encryption in order to speed up the initial process
