Pre-Installation Configuration 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 takes ownership of the TPM (a reboot is not required). However, if the TPM's ownership already exists, BitLocker Manager begins the encryption setup process. The point is that the TPM must be owned and enabled.
  • 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 follows the same process as the BitLocker Setup Wizard.

    BdeHdCfg -target default
    NOTE:

    For more options available for the BdeHdCfg command, see Microsoft's BdeHdCfg.exe Parameter Reference.
