That sounds like a TPM-based encryption....
This should only be an issue if someone isn't backing up the TPM keys.

Let me put it this way. Every time we've needed to recover a hard drive, the attempt has failed. That's why my group has their own servers, running without the corporate encryption, and our working data is backed up to those servers nightly.

Security isn't doing their job then. It might be a good thing to remind them that Availability IS a leg in the triad.

Talk to your manager - corporate rules don't have to make sense, but you flaunt them at your own risk. Many companies will start disciplinary processes for using "unapproved" sites and / or apps on company equipment.
Just sayin', is all.

I will if this goes any further. This just pisses me off.

Take it to your manager and let him take it further: then you can at least blame him if it all goes pear shaped!

Given how pear-shaped things already are in this place, I don't think anybody would notice. Grumble, grumble...

Don't forget to talk to him about all the time and money you wasted taking care of that.

The correct procedure is of course to ask the IS dweebs to show you the audit of the software on *their* machines. Oh and while you're there, their browser history

Most people only learn just barely enough to do their jobs, so they simply just do not know better. I'd talk to someone higher up and get it sorted out.

The project I'm working on gathers data from various other teams.
Some provide extracts in Excel (ptui) and they say they can't provide it any other way  .
So we use the ACE Engine and SSIS' Excel Source component to read the data into SQL Server.
We've been doing this for years.
And just recently the wombats in security said, "Oh, no, you have Office installed on your servers, we can't have that".

You must work for the US government. 
It's amazing the "logic" they use to block website here on an Air Force base. For example, we have an MSDN subscription, and the MSDN website itself isn't blocked, but the MSDN website uses CSS, images, etc from another site which IS blocked. You should see how MSDN shows up in our web browsers. We can't access the downloads that we pay for. No one in Information Assurance really cares. So we access our work MSDN account from home, download what we need, and bring it in on DVD which has to go thru quite a rigmarole to be approved. It's probably better that way though - our download speed here on our government networks is around 80 to 100K. Seriously.

Nope, but I do understand. I worked as a defense contractor back during the 80's, and I remember similar nonsense when I worked at our local AFB.

Wives and children are great. They can slide pizza under the door to you while you're coding.
