Benefits of using Bitlocker on virtual fileserver?
asked on
Hi guys
We have a virtual fileserver 2012 R2 on Vmware. If I was to enable 'Bitlocker' on there, would it affect anything in terms of people's access to shared files etc?
Also, by enabling something like that would there be a benefit? I would assume that the whole point of it is if someone stole the systems and tried to access our information that they would have to enter a password to access the information on the disk? So my assumption is that Bitlocker on an external disk or laptop, yes, but on a virtual machine sitting on premises there's no need?
Thanks for helping
