Enabling Always Encrypted in SQL Server

Scott Klein takes us through the process of enabling Always Encrypted:

Always Encrypted provides a separation between those who own the data and can view it, and those who manage the data but should have no access. Always Encrypted does this by allowing clients to encrypt sensitive data inside client applications while never revealing the encryption key to the database engine. 

One of our clients utilizes Always Encrypted to protect sensitive data. In our work for this client, we realized that a walkthrough documenting the end-to-end process of enabling Always Encrypted would be helpful for everyone.
