We are being asked to encrypt out exchange server, but we're running into a few issues. For the most part, MS only recommends using BitLocker as the encryption solution, but our Exchange environment is made up of two ESXi hosts and BitLocker doens't support VM bootable drives. However you can encrypt the VM host. I'm not familiar with ESXi, so this may be a stupid question. But if we encrypted the ESXi host, would that encrypt the virtual guests and their data as well?
I'm guessing it won't, but the alternative is going to a physical environment, so I thought I would ask.
Thanks
