We're making the move to BitLocker from another encryption product and I wanted to see what others were doing as far as partitioning.
In my OSD task sequence everything is perfect if I repartition the drive. The OS partition is given the drive letter "C" and the BDE partition is hidden and does not have a drive letter. But, if I do not repartition (during a rebuild), while in WinPE the BDE partition is assigned drive letter "C" and the main partition is assigned letter "D". When the build completes the OSD partition is hidden but the main partition has held onto the "D" drive letter. Am I missing something? I'm thinking that it may be best to repartition the drive each and every time. Granted that takes USMT hard linking off the table but we haven't used that before so it's not a big loss. I am not yet turning on BitLocker. At this point I'm just getting the basic partitioning in place (this is all on top of the SCCM upgrade to 1511, so there's a laundry list). For all I know once BitLocker is turned on the drive letter shuffle could just disappear. I thought I'd ask though.
