Hello there, I am in the midst of building a VBS script to enable BitLocker on Dell Latitude E4310. Basically I am using the default script provide by Microsoft -> EnableBitLocker.vbs, however I can say around 60% of the script has been modified to fit our environment. By default the original laptop image has TPM enable by default in BIOS, however it still need to be initialized before the BitLocker can be enabled. My problem now is although the script can be initialized from WMI, the process requires the machine to be rebooted and 'MODIFY' button to be selected during startup (BIOS mode) to allow the initialization process to be completed. 'Sample of the script to initialize TPM that requires the laptop to be rebooted ***************************************************************************************************** If (strPT = 0) then EchoStatusMsg("The platform does not need for transition.") Else If strPT = 1 then strStatusData = "Shutting down system to finish enabling the TPM." EchoStatusMsg(strStatusData) strStatusTPM = strStatusData oReboot = WSHShell.Run("shutdown.exe /s /t 10",2,True) '***** Add status code??? Else If strPT = 2 then EchoStatusMsg("Rebooting system to finish enabling the TPM.") oReboot = WSHShell.Run("shutdown.exe /r /t 10",2,True) '***** Add status code??? Else If strPT = 3 Then strStatusData = "The TPM transition is vendor-specific and cannot continue.Contact your vendor for instructions.Process is exiting." EchoStatusMsg(strStatusData) CreateStatusMIF strStatusData strStatusCode = 0 WScript.Quit -1 End If End If End If End If ***************************************************************************************************** Is there a way (WMI, VBS) to skip the process and allow the TPM to be initialized without extra reboot/keystroke? My target is to limit or restrict the user interactions during the enabling process, Any response and help on this matter is highly appreciated.
