Data security is a hot topic in Enterprise IT these days. With growing numbers of company employees using laptops instead of traditional desktops, the risk to company data is greater than ever. If a laptop is stolen or lost, the replacement cost of the hardware may be a pittance compared to the value of the data.
This is why many companies are mandating some sort of data encryption for company laptops. If a laptop is then stolen or lost, the data would be inaccessible to the thief. Mac OS X includes a feature Apple calls "FileVault," which secures users' home directories with AES-128 encryption.
This article will attempt to present some of the issues you may encounter when implementing and supporting FileVault in an enterprise environment, and techniques to use to deal with some of these issues.

Mac OS X 10.4 added the ability to set and respect ACLs to the OS. In general this has been a boon for Mac sysadmins, but have you ever tried to use the Finder to view the contents of a folder that has a large amount of ACLs to evaluate? The process is a painful one involving long pinwheels and Finder crashes.
It's clear this is a Finder issue as other tools can browse the directories without any delays at all. (I have a bug open on this issue. Radar# 4209575 if anyone wants to reference it.) As Mac OS X continues to be integrated into more institutional and enterprise environments the inability for the Finder to deal with large amounts of ACLs in any given directory becomes a impediment to it's acceptance. This issue has reared it's head in a particularly savage way when dealing with Active Directory integration. Here is why it happens and one solution to a common issue.
