We recently asked Cool Solutions readers to tell us what they love about Novell, and how they've managed to keep Novell in their organization over the years, despite fierce competition and changes in fashion.

ZENworks Full Disk Encryption supports the use of a Windows PE emergency recovery disk to regain access to encrypted devices. Creating a Windows PE disk is an extensive command-line activity that requires the entry of more than 30 commands to create the correct directory structure and add the appropriate registry entries.
