Enable Bitlocker, assistance

Recommended Posts

Hopefully that works.

A quick question - Is there a good/better/best location for the "Apply Network Settings" (where the device joins the domain) TS step? 

I have a lot (70) older and very slow... HP laptops that fail to Join the domain during the Post Install step.

i havn't done this but you could add a pause before the step for those older computers to allow them time to get ready for the apply network settings, what error do you get when those old ones fail ?

The error I get (not verbatim) states that Bitlocker failed to enable because the computer was not part of AD.  

My TS is running (again) currently, so I'll be able to provide the exact error in about 10 minutes or so.

Disregard the previous error. I was getting that, now this is the error I am getting.

I am attempting to use the default "Computers OU" in AD as the join location and the account I am using has domain join privileges.

well that's up to you to test and verify, you can add pauses that timeout and continue by simply (for example) pinging localhost a certain number of times

C:\Windows\System32\ping.exe -n 61 127.0.0.1

So far, it seems like 15 minutes (yikes!) has worked with pause (I am using the vbscript method you blogged about). I am hoping that I can find a sweet spot of around 2 minutes, but we shall see.

1. My reference image had (copyprofile for default profile) a custom background, and color scheme (for the start menu) and some custom folders, etc. to appear on taskbar/start menu
After the image is deployed, none of these settings stick.

On this question, it is not a large issue as I can just use GPO to accomplish most of this, but I am not sure if I can specify the search icon (being a bar) or specific folders to appear... Any comments or suggestions? Thanks

don't use copyprofile it breaks more things than it fixes, to configure the taskbar or start menu you need to decide which is more important as it's one or the other (at least it was when i last tested it),

here's how to customize the start menu

Thanks, that is a much easier/better method. I dislike copyprofile.
