  1. Bitlocker "Waiting Activation" Phase - Issue with Enabling Remote from an RMM


    Hello,Over the last month been working on a Bitlocker script that will Encrypt C Drive.First, we check if the TPM is enabled or not if not it writes a message back to us to inform us. If it is, it moves to the next stage of checking the driveinfo for validation to Ensure we only encrypt C drive. Once C drive has been validated we run- manage-bde -on c: -RecoveryPassword -skiphardwaretestThen we have a separate script that pulls the key and stores it in an encrypted location.An issue arises when a laptop is pre-enabled with BitLocker. Although the drive has been encrypted, no key has been gener

  2. 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.

  3. BitLocker won't enable on Windows 10 after update on Aug 9

    Hi Brenda,

    I would be happy to assist you.

    Before I assist you I would like to know the information below,


    • Do you have a Windows 10 copy of the operating system?

    I suggest you check whether the Bit locker is ON or OFF using the steps below.

    Can you verify if BitLocker is enabled or disabled on your device? You can Enable/disable BitLocker by going to Desktop and follow these steps:


    • Swipe Right to Left to bring up the Charm.

    • Choose Settings.

    • Choose Control Panel.

    • Select BitLocker Drive Encryption.

    • Verify whether BitLocker is on or off on each device.
    Also I suggest you to enable the WinRE so that you can enter the bit locker key and proceed.

    When WinRE is disabled, you cannot enable BitLocker, and you receive an error message that resembles the following.

    This PC doesn't support entering a BitLocker recovery password during startup. Ask your administrator to configure Windows Recovery Environment so that you can use BitLocker.

    The solution would be to manually enable the windows recovery environment:


    • Copying the winre.wim file from c:\windows\system32\recovery\ to a folder on a recovery partition. (The partition need to have a drive letter at this point.)

    • Set the RE Image path. Example: reagentc /setreimage /path r:\recovery\windowsre

    • Enable RE with command: reagentc /enable

    • (You may remove the drive letter for the recovery partition after you have done this.)

    • Bit locker will be enabled.
    If the issue still persists, suggest you to post your query on the below link.

    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831507(v=ws.11).aspx

    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

    Thank you.

    Bitlocker "Waiting Activation" Phase - Issue with Enabling Remote from an RMM

    BitLocker is waiting for activation

    A co-worker recently got locked out of her laptop after a Windows 10 update caused the system to go into a reboot loop because of a blue screen. There is no way to go into safe mode due to Windows 10 elimination of the F8 key. It does not go into recovery
    mode. I tried disabling Secure Boot mode in the BIOS but that brings up a BitLocker key required screen. As far as I know BitLocker was not enabled intentionally on this machine, but I am reading from another post that:

    "Bitlocker is not enabled but the process has been initialized as this happens during OOBE - Out of the Box Experience (one of the requirements of a Connected Standby Machine is Bitlocker)."

    Redirecting

    I assume that BitLocker might have been in the "waiting for activation" state since we have another equal laptop in that state bought around the same time. So the question is does this "waiting for activation" state prevent access to the drive?

    The more important question is, is there a way to get out of the blue screen of death loop?

    -Dave
