Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I am new to Bitlocker and we are now in a pilot phase of encrypting all corporate devices using Bitlocker integrated with AD for recovery information. Everything is working well but there are few PCs that already had Bitlocker enabled and when I move them to the OU where GPO for AD integration is applied, the recovery password does not show up in the BitLocker Recovery tab in the PC's properties in AD. <br />
<br />
Any idea how we can get that fixed ? Do we have to disable bitlocker and then reencrypt it ?

Bitlocker integration with AD

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
