We repartition the drive prior to the pre-provisioning.  So it's starting from 
a clean drive.

Pre-provisioning is OK for new computers and for redoing computer that are 
already encrypted, but it is not so good if you are reinstalling a computer 
that was not previously encrypted.  Right?  Pre-provisioned bitlocker will only 
encrypt data as it is written to the disk.  If there is unencrypted data on the 
disk from a previous install and you use pre-provisioning - that data on unused 
portions of the disk is still unencrypted.

We like pre-provisioning, but it can be risky depending on the state of the 
computer and its data when you start.

Or is it possible to deploy as pre-provision and then switch to whole disk 
including unused space later?

We do the following for the TPM at the start of the build:

1)      Ensure that TPM is turned on in the BIOs

2)      Disable auto provisioning

a.       Powershell.exe -Command "(gwmi -class win32_tpm -Namespace 
root\cimv2\security\microsofttpm).DisableAutoprovisioning()"

3)      Enable the TPM

a.       Powershell.exe -Command "(gwmi -class win32_tpm -Namespace 
root\cimv2\security\microsofttpm).SetPhysicalPresenceRequest(1)"

4)      Activate the TPM

a.       Powershell.exe -Command "(gwmi -class win32_tpm -Namespace 
root\cimv2\security\microsofttpm).SetPhysicalPresenceRequest(3)"

The immediately after the disk is partitioned we use the built-in pre-provision 
BitLocker action.
Next we apply the image.


Towards the end we install the MBAM client.
Reboot
Run the "Invoke-MbamClientDeployment.ps1"

This is where we get our failure.
"Failed to add Numerical Password protector to device"

I am also getting an "already owned" error in the smts log. Mike are you going 
anything else to the tpm before the pre-provision step?

Josh,

We are able to successfully pre-provision BitLocker but our MBAM config script 
fails after installing the MBAM client.  If I remember the error message it is 
something about MBAM being unable to set the numeric password.

We get it pre-provisioned fine.  The MBAM client installs successfully, but the 
MBAM config script (sorry I cannot remember its name) is what fails.

I believe we're using the SCCM+MDT default partitioning for UEFI as well.

I'll VPN in later and get the details.  Right now I don't think I'm being much 
help.  :)

Subject: [MDT-OSD] Surface Pro 4 Bitlocker Pre-Provisioning

All,

Has anyone been successful using the pre-provision step on a Surface Pro 4? We 
currently use MBAM turn on bitlocker in the task sequence. We have successfully 
been able to pre-provision dell and Lenovo machines with uefi bios. I read that 
it might have something to do with the size of  Windows RE partition...? Any 
insight would be helpful.

-Josh
