    Enable Bitlocker through Group Policy


    Command to enable BitLocker on the C drive, store the recovery key to Active directory and generate a random recovery password. Is it possible to enable Bitlocker from a GPO to all Computers joined to a Domain, if not is there a utility that would help to automate the process?


    [Original Title: Bitlocker]

    GROUP POLICIES IN WINDOWS 10

    You can change Group Policies by opening Group Policy Editor first. You can open it by following these steps:

    • Log in an administrator account. If you are already logged in as an administrator, proceed to step 2.
    • Press Windows + R to open Run.
    • Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.

    After opening Group Policy Editor, you can now make the necessary changes that you want.

    Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.

    Regards.

    How to enable Bitlocker for Fixed Drives?

    Hi All,

    I'm on Windows 10 Pro, Bitlocker (without TPM) is enabled and working for Removable drives, as well as the OS Drive.

    I have an additional 2TB internal SATA drive that Bitlocker does not see. I do not get the option to enable Bitlocker, in the right click context menu for the drive.

    If I go to Manage Bitlocker, the drive is not listed as a fixed data drive. It's not listed at all.

    There is nothing wrong with the drive itself. In its current unencrypted state, I have data stored on it, and can access, read and write to all of the drives contents.

    I've checked through the bitlocker group policy options, and I've googled this to death. Any help, short of a format/reload would be greatly appreciated.
