How to recover TPM owner password from AD on windows 7
Hi,
I use BitLocker with AD integration on a 2003 sp2 Domain Controller. The
BitLocker Recovery Passwords and TPM Owner Passwords are stored successfully
in the AD. I installed BitLocker Recovery Password Viewer for Active
Directory to read the Recovery Passwords stored in the AD.
If I try to change the TPM Owner PW on my windows 7 machine, I have to enter the
Owner Password or point to a
TPM Password File. Because my Owner PW is stored in AD I don't have
this information. What is the process to change the TPM Owner Password on my
windows 7 when I only have the TPM Owner Password stored in AD?

Ajit,
We save TPM owner password as hash in AD if you had set the GPO to backup the TPM Owner Password.
I have written a Blog on this which will help you.
