    Is it safe for me to share bitlocker recovery key to someone from service center?


    I had a trouble with laptop and long story short it need to change the motherboard. The service guy said they need the bitlocker recovery key because they change the hardware. Is it safe for me to share it to them? P. S. The service guy is from the official service center.

    Bitlocker recovery key

    Hello,

    I'm the IT user-support person in a company and I have this issue with a corporate laptop (belong to a domain & Active Directory):

    I received from a user his laptop "dead" (no power-on, nothing to start-it). Accordingly to company security policies I deliver the laptop in service with another blank disk (the same SSD type) because the original one contained data.

    After receiving the fixed laptop from service, I changed back the disks by putting the original one at it place.

    Now, it occur the issue: at first step of booting it request the Bitlocker recovery key because the disk was bitlocker encrypted before.

    The bad-luck is that I don't have this Bitlocker recovery key nowhere: on the printed paper, USB memory stick and not even on the Active Directory.

    Is strange, because ussually, the other workstations (laptops with bitlocker activated) have this information on Active Directory.

    Maybe because of a possible cause: the laptop owner use to work at home with the laptop and the Active Directory didn't synchronized the information related to Bitlocker recovery key (like for other laptop used in LAN).

    I have the "Recovery key ID" on the blue screen for the laptop but is useless because I cannot find the "Bitlocker recovery key" on Active Directory using it.

    What do you suggest to do in this case?

    Many thanks for any advice and answer.

    Mircea Dumitrescu.
