  1. How to prevent local administrators from turning off Bit locker encryption?


    If you use sophos safeguard for example, you won't be able to decrpyt the drive unless permitted by policy even if you are an administrator of the computer.


    Now does microsoft have a way of implementing a policy from MBAM to do the same?

    :)

  2. Bit locker Encryption

    Hello Fiends,

    Actually my problem is that i have previously installed windows 7 ultimate(32 bit) in my desktop and to protect my data,
    encrypted the "D drive" using bit locker, then after few months, i installed
    windows 10 pro(64 bit) in my desktop without disabling the bit locker, after installation i was able to access my locked drive with same password.

    Till here everything was fine, but after some days my Desktop started to lag then again i switched to
    windows 7 ultimate(64 bit).

    But Now i'm not able to access my encrypted drive which was locked by bit locker with same password.

    While i'm trying to unlock the encrypted drive i'm getting the massage as
    "Unable to Complete the requested operation because of either a catastrophic media failure
    or a data structure corruption on the disk".

    Pls Help.

    Thanks.

  3. Windows 10: How to hardware encrypt using bit locker without TPM.

    Hi Ajit,

    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with encrypting the hard drive on Windows 10.

    This issue might be due to problems with change in group policy settings for bit locker.

    To assist you better, please provide us the below information:

    • Have you created any system restore point on the computer prior to the issue?

    I suggest you to manage the bit locker settings in the group policy settings by following the below link and check if it helps.

    First before performing any changes in Bit locker settings, I suggest you to create System Restore point on the computer. So that we can restore back to previous Windows state if any issues occurs.

    I suggest you to refer to the below Microsoft Help Article about managing bit locker settings in the Group policy settings and check if it helps.

  4. How to prevent local administrators from turning off Bit locker encryption?

    Having to enter bit locker key everyday

    Hi,

    I realize that you are getting the bit locker prompt very often. I will try to help you with this issue.

    Suggest you to turn off the Bit Locker, restart the pc and then turn on the Bit Locker to check if that helps.

    To enable BitLocker, open the Control Panel and navigate to System and Security > BitLocker Drive Encryption. You can also open Windows Explorer or File Explorer, right-click a drive, and select Turn On BitLocker.

    Keep us informed to help you further.
