It looks like some tech writer was determined to keep his job for as long as possible -- the installation guide for Symantec Endpoint Protection runs to 1156 pages.
Since we're on the topic of gambling, lately, I'll bet that I could cut it down to ten.

I can cut it down to one word, or actually contraction.

Probably works as well as McAfee Endpoint Encryption, which we have here at work. Lovely bit of kit, as our U.K. friends say. If your computer fails and you need to move your hard drive elsewhere to read back the data, you are irretrievably and utterly elephanted. The drive is encrypted such that the data is only usable in the original hardware it is installed in.

Toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe, let's call the whole thing off. The purpose of most IT departments is to cram so much sh!t on their users' PC's such that they are rendered unusable without constant action by the aforementioned IT department, thereby justifying their existence.

My argument is that the McAfee thing renders data unrecoverable for precisely those users who are least likely to make proper backups. It protects the company if a device is misplaced or stolen. It also risks the company in that it renders data on company computers inherently unsafe.

Well, McAffee is a piece of cr*p. It's the company's own fault.

Agreed, on both counts.

Been there, done that. No need for a manual.

That's the route I decided to follow.
I took screenshots and added process notes, so that the next poor fool down the line will only have to deal with a seven page document.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
