BitLocker Password Recovery for Active Directory Users and Computer on Server 2003
I'm in the process of getting BitLocker up and running for soon-to-deploy laptops.
The AD schema has been extended and I have confirmed that BitLocker and TPM schema objects are in place.
Group Policy has been enabled to allow backup of BitLocker and TPM recovery information.
A Win7 machine has been encrypted, and recovery passwords have been generated.
The problem (as I understand it) is that I am unable to find a download for Server 2003 of the "BitLocker Recovery Password Viewer for Active Directory Users and Computers Tool". As a result, the tabs that ought to appear within ADUC are not there...
(The BitLocker tabs are missing both on the DC, and when using the remote admin tools on a Win7 machine).
The equivalent Password Recovery Viewer for Vista and newer systems can be found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=2786FDE9-5986-4ED6-8FE4-F88E2492A5BD&displaylang=en. It seems to me I need a Win2K3 equivalent.
Is it not possible to do BitLocker Password Recovery with only Server 2003 domain controllers? It seems odd that 2003 would be able to support everything else except this final part of the equation.
Thanks
