Eset Bitlocker

[Fatima Teem]

Theonly other time I have had this was on a brand new laptop and in the end I wiped it and started again. This isn't a brand new laptop though and wiping it would be a pain for the user and for me, is there anything else I can try?

I have one idea, I cannot be sure this will work as it is a Microsoft product and if it doesn't I will have to recommend you contact Microsoft to attempt to solve this as Bitlocker is not our product nor expertise.

To solve this, go to Bitlocker Drive Encryption in Control Panel and simply turn it ON and go through all the steps to save the recovery keys etc. and attempt to decrypt it after they have done this.

This happens all the time with me with laptops that have secure boot enable bitlocker encryption the drive int he background but doesnt full turn it on. Once I have turn it on, save the key then remove the encryption it fixes the issue and you can use ESET Encryption.

I have a problem while installing Full Disk Encryption,

Eset tells me that the computer is already encrypted by Bitlocker but it is not. I tried encrypting the pc bitlocker then disabling it but I still get this error message.

J'ai un problme lors de l'installation de Full Disk Encryption,

Eset m'indique que l'ordinateur est dj chiffr par Bitlocker mais ce n'est pas le cas. J'ai essay de chiffrer le pc bitlocker puis le dsactiver mais j'ai toujours ce message d'erreur.

If we confirm that BitLocker is in fact 100% decrypted, we will need to request additional logging ( -eset-encryption-diagnostics-tool) and support case to be submitted to your local ESET Support Office via the following link:

"BitLocker automatic device encryption uses BitLocker drive encryption technology to automatically encrypt internal drives after the user completes the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) on Modern Standby or HSTI-compliant hardware."

I second the what is wrong with Microsoft BitLocker it is free as long as you have windows Pro or Enterprise. If you have the Machines on a domain you can have it store the bitlocker recovery Key in Active directory.

If you just want to keep the neighbor kid from booting to linux and changing your password then bitlocker is probably ideal. That and a TPS chip are free, easy to implement, easy to store the key (generally in your MS account), and lends itself to you not losing your data in the event of device failure and the data recovery process.

I use Winmagic Secure Doc. I am able to sync AD accounts to it so people can just boot the machine with their network password. I find this more secure than autoboot using TPM or having a separate PIN or just having the machine autoboot which is how bitlocker works. It will also manage Filevault on Macs and escrow the recovery keys.
