Subject: [MDT-OSD] Can't Do Bare Metal on Bitlockered PC - Dell BIOS Issue
Sorry if I've asked this before, it's been on my list of things to fix for a
very long time and I'm just now actually getting to it.....
When doing at bare metal deployment on any PC that has had the disk encrypted
with bitlocker I have two issues:
1. I have to manually going into diskpart and blow away the partitions.
Shouldn't the TS do that for me?
2. I have to clear the TPM in the bios manually.
i. On the
newer Dell laptops this in itself is a challenge. I find that I must pray to
Michael Dell, hold me tongue just right and stand on my head to start with. If
I do all that just right I have to clear the TPM, activate the TPM and then
clear it again and then load the bios defaults in the security node or I get an
error when I try to setup the BIOS in my task sequence. I see this problem on
the currently shipping Latitudes, the 6400 takes one more step that I must
completely power it off after doing all those steps and power it back on or it
fails. Am I the only person seeing this issue?
