  1. BitLocker Recovery Key on a machine with BitLocker enabled automatically


    May you please assist. We have recently noted that most of our new purchased computers in my organisation have BitLocker enabled automatically when the machine is setup. Users are are not aware that they have BitLocker since BitLocker seems not to have been setup to require pin at start up but the moment the machine gets locked, it will require a recovery password which users do not have. As IT Security, we have been manually enabling BitLocker using a Group Policy and we are centrally managing or saving the recovery passwords on AD. However, for the new machines which we have not yet added on the AD BitLocker group, we are failing to assist users to retrieve their BitLocker passwords once their machines gets locked and prompt for the recovery password. On a user machine that I am currently troubleshooting, I cant find the recovery password on AD as it was not enabled through Group Policy. I also checked the recovery password under the user device on Azure AD and there is no recovery password. On the locked machine, there is also a Microsoft URL given on window prompting for BitLocker recovery password where its says you can use your school or work account to retrieve your key aka.ms/aadrecoverykey but unfortunately the user does not have a Microsoft account and we do not have Microsoft accounts in my company as we all use domain accounts. How best can we retrieve the recovery passwords when BitLocker was enabled automatically and the recovery password is not managed centrally.

    :)

    BitLocker Recovery Key on a machine with BitLocker enabled automatically

    HELP: Automatic BitLocker Unlock.

    Please help,
    Looking for a way( script or maybe some unknown windows command or registry hack) to automatically unlock a non OS BitLocker encrypted drive on Log-In.

    My situation: Right now my OS SSD Samsung 840 Evo has a boot password, its not Bios option nor windows eDrive but the third one, the one you need 3rd party software to activate it, had to purchase EMBASSY Security Center to do it.
    No issues here, the OS drive is locked and encrypted.

    One of My HDD Drives is encrypted with Bitlocker, so every time my PC is booted, I need to enter windows log-in password and then open my computer and enter another password to unlock the drive.
    Whats worse is that unlike the SSD that needs unlock password only after full shutdown the Bitlocker needs it every log-in.

    Windows has an option to Automaticlly unlock all BitLocker drives on boot, BUT the issue here is that this official option only works if your OS drive is also BitLocker encrypted and then log-in password unlocks everything.

    Im looking for maybe a windows Script or some Hidden command to automatically unlock the BitLocker drive.

    Even if it Sounds insecure like having the actual password somewhere in the registry, text file or script I dont care because the OS drive is encrypted and passworded.
    Also I have a TPM chip I can encrypt any file/folder so even if file is copied from my PC when its fully unlocked the files wont be readable anywhere unless unencrypted before.

    If its important im on 8.1 pro 64bit

    P.S. If there is no solution for my problem then my only choice is when windows 10 comes out to do a clean install on another Samsung 840 Evo that was previously cleared and eDrive option enabled


    Thanks in advance.
