Can a Windows 7 WSUS update cause prompt for bitlocker recovery key
Hi Experts,
Requiring your advise, running with Windows 7 x64 Ultimate in our environment, and we encrypting HDD's using bitlocker, recently some desktop machines built using SCCM is prompting for a bitlocker recovery key post installation,
Our build process involves deployment of image using SCCM 2012, post build the HDD encrypts and windows updates get's applied to workstations via WSUS, a claim was made that a recent Microsoft update has caused this behaviour (IE: prompt for bit locker recovery key)
our WSUS is only configured to download critical OS and Office updates, nothing hardware specific,
In your expert opinion, do u think this behaviour could have been triggered by a windows update?

No, I am sure it won't have been a windows update. Our whole network is bitlocked for more than half a year now and we install updates on all machines as soon as they come out. Never did it happen.
Whenever I have seen that (yes I have, but it was with vista many years ago), it turned out to have been something else, mostly people having played with BIOS settings - the TPM chip does not like that.
