sql sql-server encryption sql-server-2008-r2 tde

SQL Server 2008 R2 tde stop encryption process

I have a rather larger database I will be encrypting using TDE. I have a defined window to complete the encryption. I need a way to stop the encryption process if the time window is exceeded.

Thanks

Solution

Microsoft says it is not possible to stop the TDE encryption once it has been started because it creates an exclusive lock on the database.
