General Question about Bitlocker and Certificate Services - Does it require SmartCard usage?
Planning on implementing Bitlocker in my Win7/Server 2008 AD and storing encyprtion key on TPM chip and backing up to AD. Also we are planning on implementing Certificate services. We are NOT however planning on using Smart Cards.
It is unclear from reading MS documentation if that is even possible, and if it is, does it give me any advantage to use Certificate Services with no Smart Cards? Every think I read about CA and Bitlocker and Data Recovery Agens talks about Smart
Cards. Can anyone explain how this scenario would work without them?
Thanks!Matt Frac

Hi,
As we know, BitLocker supports Smart Card. And we can try other methods to use BitLocker, such as password.
