Hello,

I'm trying to enable Bitlocker on our laptop setup and it never works.  The final summary from the build shows no errors and the BDEDrive (D:) is created but BitLocker does not get turned on.  I've read through all of the documentation that ships with MDT and it is way too general and does not go into details. 

I've tried the following:

  • Format and Partition Disk
    • BDEDrive (S:) Primary, 2GB, Boot Partition, NTFS,
    • OSDisk (C:) Primary, 100% remaining, NTFS, Variable OSDisk

The above configuration will try to install Vista to the BDEDrive and halt because it is not large enough.  I read that in the Install Operating System TS, i could set it to install to C:\ by using a Variable such as OSDisk but i'm not sure how to configure this option on this Task Sequence.

I've also tried to configure my customsettings.ini like the following, but it never works properly.  It doesn't actually encrypt the volume but never errors in my Final Summary log.

BDEInstallSuppress=NO
BDEDriveLetter=S:
BDEKeyLocation=C:
BDEDriveSize=2000
BDEInstall=TPMPin
BDERecoveryKey=AD
BDEPin=123456789
BDEWaitForEncryption=TRUE

Does anyone have some good detailed instructions on how i can automate BitLocker in MDT? 

Thanks
