How can I prevent users on a network from storing data on an unencrypted drive?
In Windows 7, you can enable Group Policy settings to require that data drives be BitLocker-protected before a BitLocker-protected computer can write data to them. The policy settings you use for this are:

  • Computer ConfigurationAdministrative TemplatesWindows ComponentsBitLocker Drive EncryptionFixed Data DrivesDeny write access to fixed drives not protected by BitLocker
  • Computer ConfigurationAdministrative TemplatesWindows ComponentsBitLocker Drive EncryptionRemovable Data DrivesDeny write access to removable drives not protected by BitLocker

When these policy settings are enabled, the BitLocker-protected operating system will mount any data drives that are not protected by BitLocker as read-only.
If you are concerned that your users might inadvertently store data in an unencrypted drives while using a computer that does not have BitLocker enabled, use access control lists (ACLs) and Group Policy to configure access control for the drives or hide the drive letter.
