Can I encrypt shared files on windows server and allow only authenticated domain users have access to these files?

The scenario as follows:

I have a software development company, and I would like to protect my source code from being copied by my programmers.

One problem is that some programmers use their own laptops to developing the company's software.

In this scenario it's impossible to prevent developers from copying the source code for their laptops.

In this case I thought about the following solution, but i don't know if it's possible to implement.

The idea is to encrypt the source code and they are accessible (decrypted) only when developers are logged into the AD domain, ie if they are not logged into the AD domain, the source code would be encrypted be useless.

Can be implemented this ? What technology should be used?

How can be implemented this using EFS?
