Enabling Bitlocker on a Windows 2 Go Device

When you try to turn on BitLocker on the Windows 2 Go device you created in the previous post  you'll possibly see the following message:

 
This device can't use a Trusted Platform Module.  Your administrator must set the "Allow BitLocker without a compatible TRP" option in the "Require additional authentication at startup" policy for OS volumes.

Solution:

1. "Windows+R" to start the Run command .

2. Type "gpedit.msc" and click OK.

3. A new window will open.

4. Click on Administrative Templates under Computer Configuration

5. Double Click on Windows Components (right window pane).

6. Double Click on BitLocker Drive Encryption.

7. Double Click on Operating System Drives.

8. Double Click on Require Additional Authentication at Startup

9. A new window will be opened.

10. Click "Enabled"

11. Click OK and close the window.

IF YOU WANT THE KEY TO BE BACKED UP TO ACTIVE DIRECTORY 

• Load gpedit.msc

• Local computer policy\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Bit Locker Encryption

• Turn on the following :

o   ‘Store BitLocker recovery information in AD DS’

• Local computer policy\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Bit Locker Encryption\Fix data drives

o   ‘Choose how bitlocker-protected fix drives can be recovered’

• Local computer policy\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Bit Locker Encryption\Operating System Drives

o   ‘Choose how Bitlocker-protected OS drives can be recovered’

• Local computer policy\Administrative Templates\Systems\Trusted Platform Module services

o   ‘Turn on TPM backup to AD DS’

• Open CMD

• Type ‘manage-bde -protectors -get c:’

• You should get a similar return

o    Password:  551463-589820-493438-138534-340098-388795-215589-457996

• Then type ‘manage-bde -protectors -adbackup c: -id {Numerical Password}’

                                 you should get:

' This script creates a SELF ACE on the top-level domain object, and
' assumes that inheritance of ACL's from the top-level domain object to
