I have a Windows 8.1 build that I intend to capture as a master image for deployment with SCCM.
I tried to SysPrep it.
It says it cannot run sysprep, go and look at setupact.log to see why...when I look in setupact.log it says BitLocker is enabled for the System Volume. But it is not, we never use BitLocker and I have not enabled it on this build.
I think maybe if I enable BitLocker, and then disable it again, I will get round this, so I try to enable BitLocker and I get "This system does not support entering a recovery key at startup, please ask your administrator to enable Windows Recovery."
I run reagentc /info and sure enough it is not enabled.
I run reagentc /enable I get "Cannot enable Windows Recovery when BitLocker is enabled".
But BitLocker is not enabled, and will not enable. Impasse.
For now, I have flattened and it and will re-image and re-apply my latest updates and changes, but I may get into the same mess tomorrow when I reach the SysPrep stage again.
Is there a way I can convince this system that it doesn't have BitLocker enabled? Or repair WinRe so that I can enable/disable BitLocker (though that itself is a workaround - fixing a problem that doesn't/shouldn't exist.)
Thanks in ad
