Hi all,

Recently our machines have been unable to encrypt their drives during the build 
process.  BDE fails, and the build completes but with an unencrypted drive.  
However, this only happens on machines right out of the box.  If I rebuild the 
same machine, or manually encrypt the drive, it works fine.  I can also 
reproduce this if I manually clear the TPM information before rebuilding.

The last few lines of ZTIBDE.log on a failed machine are:

It's pretty obvious that the TPM Password is not set on our new machines.  What 
I'm confused about is what changed in the past few months that caused this.  
Drives encrypted fine for years before this.

The timing seems to be roughly correlated with updating our MDT environment 
from 2013 to 2013 Update 1, though I can't be 100% sure because it took a few 
weeks for our techs to notify me BitLocker was having issues.  However, I can't 
find anything about BitLocker issues in the known issues list.

Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks for your help,
Patrick
