Turn on Bitlocker automatically using NTLite

[xinhuiwong]

Hi all,

May I know how to enable a pre-boot bitlocker PIN automatically on Windows using NTLite?
And also need to turn on bitlocker in C & D drive

Thanks.

There's several problems to think about.

• Users cannot enter a PIN during Post-Setup (machine execution queue) since no input is allowed.
• Using Powershell commands for BitLocker, you can set the PIN -- but have the problem of hiding the visible PIN in the script.
• If you use a network share to provide the PIN from a file, the network credential is visible to others.
• You could set a random PIN in the script, but have to collect the recovery keys every time a system is imaged.

NTLite cannot fix these problems for you, there has to be some external scripting since you're managing multiple PC's.
If you don't care about protecting the PIN's security, then BitLocker is a huge waste of time.
