Windows Vista Bitlocker Active Directory Schema

[Ragnar]

Hi

Where can I find the Active Directory Schema script/procedure required to
enable Bitlocker recovery to Active Directory? Isn't it available for
download yet?

Thanks.

Regards,
Ragnar

Thanks for your reply.

However I have already tried these schema extensions in a test environment -
they did not help me enable Bitlocker recovery to AD. The
"VistaSecurity_TWP.doc" document refers to something called "BitLocker
Active Directory Deployment Pack". Do you (or anyone else) know where I may
get a hold of this, seems that this will contain additional details as well
as the "AddWriteACEs.vbs" script needed to configure some permissions.

Hi Ragnar,

You should not use ADprep on Vista DVD as the results are not what you look
for. Microsoft will make information on storing Bitlocker Recovery keys in
AD available soon - I'd guess when its ready ADprep command and accompanying
ldf files on Vista DVD are there for informational purpose only and as such
they should not be used in production AD (2000/2003/R2).

Hi

Yes I also found that it did not work with these schema extensions. So it is
as I feared - patience is required while we wait on Microsoft to provide the
necessary information and tools....Thanks.

Hi again,

The guide and included LDIF file and scripts are finally available:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...15-dfc3-4579-90cd-86ac666f61d4&displaylang=en

A bit more information on http://msmvps.com/blogs/mika/archiv...p-bitlocker-and-tpm-recovery-information.aspx.
I've tested all of the tools with Lenovo Thinkpad T60 and found them working
