I’ll give this a look – thanks. In the meantime I’ve simply turned to
e-mailing targeted bodies and letting them know … “you may see a popup … it’s
just me.” ;) {shrug shoulders}

Hi,
As you use manage-bde I guess you are targeting Windows 7 OS.
You can actually turn off popup messages using this:

or you can put an applocker deny rule on the hash of
c:\windows\system32\fvenotify.exe

Hey guys …
Readers digest we have become aware of a number of laptops in our organization
that for whatever reasons didn’t get bitlocker turned on when the help desk
staff built them. We’re now looking at getting them turned on by either
physically visiting with the end user and/or remoting to a target machine via
psexec and running the following:
1. PSEXEC onto a machine (psexec \\machine<file://machine> cmd
2. Type “manage-bde –status” to determine if bitlocker is on and active
3. Type “manage-bde –on C: -RecoveryPassword” to turn it on (reboot
required to actually start the encryption)
4. Type “shutdown /r /f /t 15” to shut down and reboot their laptop in 15
seconds
I wasn’t going to do step 4 on the first machine that I just did this on as I
know for a fact that the user will take his laptop home at the end of the day
anyway. So anyway – literally within 10 seconds of turning bitlocker on at
step 3 “ring!” goes my phone and it coincidentally enough (lol) happens to be
that user. He’s asking me about “… a bitlocker drive encryption popup just
appeared on my screen – what’s that?”
My question for you guys is – can I suppress local host popups?
Thanks…
