Re: 11gr2 on ms w2k8r2 bitlocker

Mladen,

Thanks. I was all of a sudden in a situation during a migration with no advanced warning that BitLocker was in use, broke the glass and shot off the flare gun (at this list).

Instance startup time was way long. I fear timeouts during instance startup.

Searching the fine web here until bitlocker has completed its scrub.

Yes. I have my towel.

No. I didnt panic quite yet.

Thanks for interrupting your weekend evening for a reply to my distress call.

Paul
