BitLocker, which is available only in certain versions of Windows, enables you to encrypt an entire drive or volume. Only those users with the proper password or encryption key can decrypt the data files obtained from a shared drive or volume protected by BitLocker.

You will begin the lab by using EFS to encrypt files and folders on a Windows Server 2008 machine and document the success or failure of your encryption efforts. You will then install BitLocker on a data drive on a server in the virtual lab environment and create a recovery key.
