Apologies as this is a duplicate of a post in the DaRT/MDOP forum - however this forum looks unfrequented.
I have been testing DaRT 7 / Windows 7 and DaRT 8.1 / Windows 8.1 deployment via SCCM recently and have run into an issue with the DaRT 7 / Windows 7 deployment in relation to BitLocker. Deployment tool is SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3. Task Sequence is as-per the DaRT Evaluation/Administration guides - a new partition is created by shrinking the OS drive, then the image is copied to this partition and the reagent commands are run to enable the use of the new image.
The DaRT image is deployed as expected, and works as expected for non-BitLockered machines, i.e. Virtual Machines. For physical, thus encrypted machines, I am being prompted for a BitLocker recovery key after the reboot that follows the DaRT image deployment/reagent commands during the Task Sequence.
TS steps as follows:
- Partition Drive
- Pre-provision BitLocker
- Deploy OS image
- Apply WIndows Settings
- Setup Windows and Configutration Manager
- DaRT Deployment/Configuration
- Enable BitLocker
I have also tested this with removal of the pre-provision BitLocker step, and we're still being prompted for the BitLocker Recovery Key after enabling BitLocker and a subsequent reboot during the Task sequence. TS now as follows:
- Partition Drive
- Deploy OS image
- Apply Windows Settings
- Setup Windows and Configutration Manager
- DaRT Deployment/Configuration - includes repartitioning/copy winre.wim/reagentc commands
- Enable BitLocker
The first Task Sequence (with pre-provision) works with Windows 8.1 / DaRT 8.1 without issue.Am I missing something obvious?
