BitLocker Manager Client
• Consider reviewing Microsoft BitLocker requirements if BitLocker is not yet deployed in your environment,
• Ensure that the PBA partition is already set up. If BitLocker Manager is installed before the PBA partition is set up, BitLocker cannot be
enabled and BitLocker Manager will not be operational.
• The keyboard, mouse, and video components must be directly connected to the computer. Do not use a KVM switch to manage
peripherals as the KVM switch can interfere with the computer's ability to properly identify hardware.
• Turn on and enable the TPM. BitLocker Manager will take ownership of the TPM and will not require a reboot. However, if a TPM
ownership already exists, BitLocker Manager will begin the encryption setup process (no restart is required). The point is that the TPM
must be "owned" and enabled.
