Hi, I have to enable bitlocker on a WIN7x64 machine during the OSD through SCCM. I have successfully completed the scenario for a WIN7x86 machine using the manage-bde command. For the scenario, I have configured the group policies and the UNC path for the recovery key. I have to generate the startup key on the flash drive. Group policies which i had configured are:- 1. computer configuration>>windows component>>bitlocker drive encryption and enabled the policy choose default folder for bitlocker recovery with a network location. 2. computer configuration>>windows component>>bitlocker drive encryption and enabled the policy choose how users can recover bitlocker-protected drives. 3. computer configuration>>windows component>>bitlocker drive encryption>>operating system drives and enabled the policy with settings checked allow bitlocker without a compatible TPM and changes the rest of the options to donot allow TPM Now main thing is that during OSD my task sequence fails with an error 8031005B during enabling bitlocker step. I am using C:\Windows\System32\manage-bde.exe -on C: -rk <network location> -sk <USB_Drive_letter>: -s -rp as to enable bitlocker in my SCCM TS(run command line). I have also checked the disable 64-bit file system re-direction. What else I am missing. It's been a pain in my head for the last 3 days. Do inform me if any more information needed by my side. NOTE:-recovery key will be on network share, i have to implement bitlocker during OSD(WIN7x64) with SCCM. Few posts on Bitlocker by myself on Technet:- http://social.techne...62-0130c9720455 http://social.techne...25-4e36500bac48 http://social.techne...6-ebfc9b137247/ ===================================================================================================== Thanks Gaurav Ranjan

i have sequenced the OFFICE 2007 with the normal sequencing steps and it worked with a success for the end-users. nothings to add unlike sequencing of MS OFFICE 2010. same thing is with the MS OFFICE 2003. it also worked for me with the simple sequencing steps. it would be good if you first try with the simple sequencing steps and try to figure out if any issue comes.

Hi Abdul, Have you installed the OFFVIRT on the client machine? It might be the issue. Also match the archtecture of your machine and your OFFVIRT.

I have been working on the sequencing of the Sales Force Add-in for MS Outlook 2010. But I am finally been not able to sequence it. I had tried the same process what I have done to successfully to sequence the Intuit add-in for Outlook 2010 using DSC. I have sequenced the sales force add-in separately by expanding the MS OFFICE package locally on the sequencer machine. Then I copied the CODEBASE HREF of the from the OSD of the sales force add-in and pasted it to the OSD of the sign in tool and the MS OUTLOOK 2010 under the dependency tag. Then I loaded both the package to the APP-V server and launched the sign in tool. The progress bar of the Sign in tool proceeded two times while launching through app-v which proves the dependency of the application on the other application. But it failed to load the sales force add-in onto the outlook. In fact I haven’t got the add-in tab on outlook unlike the Intuit add-in. Also I hadn’t got the sales force add-in onto the list of the add-in on the outlook. The main difference while sequencing both add-ins is that we can be able to launch the Intuit add-in at the stage of run application which was monitored by the sequencer as it is being an independent application but the sales force is a complete dependent application and can’t be launched until and unless outlook is launched and we can’t launch outlook during sequencing. It is a dependent application. So it was not monitored by the sequencer and hence might be the reason for failure. Then for checking the and knowing the exact and efficient working of the sales force add-in I have installed the add-in to a machine where MS OFFICE 2010 is locally installed. There I got the sales force add-in on to the list of the add-ins on outlook but don’t have any icon of the sales force under the add-in tab unlike Intuit add-in so that it can be launched with the outlook. When I tried to launch the Sales force through its short cut directly I got an error that “the sales force failed to synchronize with the outlook”. Can anyone suggest me the proper guidance for sequencing and use sales force with outlook 2010 efficiently..... ThanksGaurav Ranjan
