1327 Installing a SecureDoc installation package with BitLocker Management on Windows Vista

Prev Next

In order to successfully deploy a SecureDoc installation package with Bitlocker Management mode enabled on a system with Microsoft Windows Vista, a few manual steps will need to be completed.

 

First off, an installation package which supports BitLocker will have "SecureDoc Pre-boot for BitLocker" mode enabled. After trying to install the package, the system will notify the user that the "OS doesn't support BitLocker encryption” and the SD client will discontinue the installation.

 

Currently BitLocker is only available as an extra for Windows Vista, so the following steps will need to be completed to resolve the issue:

  1. Install BitLocker the Windows Vista Ultimate Extras app.
  2. Run the BitLocker Drive Preparation tool.
    • This is done automatically in Win 7 and Win 8 systems, but the tool is different for Windows Vista.
  3. Install the package with "SecureDoc Pre-boot for BitLocker mode" enabled.
