Hi Guys,


 We've got maybe 2~3k systems here at $Client.Name that were built without
the partitions needed to support BitLocker, and now we need to encrypt them
without refreshing them to correct the partitions.



  During my initial googles, I found this
article<http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2011/01/20/solution-the-enable-bitlocker-task-fails-to-run-during-a-configmgr-2007-task-sequence.aspx>which
makes mention of the ZTIBde resource in the MDT Toolkit, for
precisely this sort of situation.  It seems this tool will use diskpart to
shrink the last 300 MB of the drive, and then handle storing the necessary
files for BitLocker there.  Has anyone used this in the wild?  I'm always
cautious when adjusting partitions on existing drives with user data.



  I've got an existing 'Encrypt' TS that works fine for systems with the
needed partitions.  I'd like to be able to use the ZTIBde.wsf script to fix
the partitions on the machines, then encrypt them.


  Are there any pitfalls I should know about?  Any tips?


Thanks,
