My brother-in-law is starting a business and has a need for encryption protection. I have heard good things about PGP Whole Disk Encryption but I have heard that during startup it requires a password. This won't be that convenient for us since most of the maintenance work done on the server is done remotely making restarting the computer difficult from a remote location. Is there any good encryption software that does not require a password before you are logged in to windows?

Store all of your data on a different/separate partition from the system partition. Then you can encrypt that data partition and unlock once Windows is logged in. Truecrypt is free, works great, open source, and you can have it automatically prompt you to unlock when you log in.

That should work well.

Also, Pointsec will allow you to have a completely encrypted drive and has an option for a boot password or to just use integrated windows login.

+1 for TrueCrypt

You can use cached passwords so that the locked partition can be auto mounted on the specific machine without the need to type the password every time.
