Pre-Installation Conguration to Set Up a BitLocker
PBA Partition
• You must create the PBA partition before installing BitLocker Manager.
• Turn on and activate the TPM before installing BitLocker Manager. BitLocker Manager will take ownership of the TPM (a reboot will
not be required). However, if the TPM's ownership already exists, BitLocker Manager will begin the encryption setup process. The point
is that the TPM must be "owned".
• You may need to partition the disk manually. See Microsoft's description of the BitLocker Drive Preparation Tool for further information.
• Use the BdeHdCfg.exe command to create the PBA partition. The default parameter indicates that the command line tool will follow
the same process as the BitLocker Setup Wizard.
BdeHdCfg -target default
TIP
:
For more options available for the BdeHdCfg command, see Microsoft's BdeHdCfg.exe Parameter Reference.
