Windows 10: Azure and Entra ID with Enabled Bitlocker

I recently bought a brand-new machine. For two days, I spent time on it trying to figure out why my keyboard functionality in a Logi MX Keys would not work. This caused me to clear TPM in my Window Pro which came with the machine. Of course, because of the BitLocker, I had to go to Entra ID to get my access code. But I found that there was no way to type the code into the system because of the keyboard not functioning. After several keyboard purchases, I gave up and created a Windows 11 boot format on USB. Because of course, there isn't one for Windows 11 Pro yet. I got all the way

How to disable automatic BitLocker implementation when using Autopilot OOBE experience to join a device to Azure AD?

Hello,

At my company, our workstations are not joined to the domain and are managed by Workspace ONE. I would like to join these workstations to Entra ID to use Microsoft accounts to authenticate. However, I will also be using Autopilot to have the OOBE and join the workstations directly. Workspace ONE will be added as an MDM to Entra ID and deployed when provisioning the PCs.

I noticed that BitLocker will be enabled automatically, and the recovery keys will be synced to Entra ID. In my case, I want Workspace ONE to manage the BitLocker keys. How can I disable BitLocker so that when joining the workstations to Entra ID, Workspace ONE will be downloaded and will manage the keys?

Thank you.

 

Bitlocker Randomly Enabled

Hi,

On my personal Lenovo laptop, Bitlocker somehow randomly was enabled. I have not enabled it, and I followed the recovery steps without luck. It seems that it was enabled during an update. I logged into my Microsoft account, see that the laptop is listed, but there is no bitlocker key listed. I am at a loss on what the next steps might be for me to be able to log into my computer at this point.

Some windows 11 devices shows as Entra ID registered in Intune

Some devices onboarded to Intune with self deploying Autopilot mode, and now they shows as Entra ID registered in Intune and not Entra ID joined. Why these shows Entra ID registered and how to make them appear Entra ID joined.
