How to enable Bitlocker using SCCM task sequence for bare metal installation of Windows 7(Using Windows 7 Image)

How to enable Bitlocker using SCCM task sequence for bare metal installation of Windows 7(Using Windows 7 Image)

We can deploy Windows 7 on machines using Windows 7 captured image. We can capture this image using SCCM Build and Capture task sequence.
To enable bitlocker using image we need to create separate partitions in the SCCM task sequence (apart from OS and data partition).

This can be achieve by format and partition task sequence of MDT integrated SCCM task sequence or State migration task sequence.



To enable Bitlocker in windows 7 we require 300 MB partition. So we have to create 300 MB partition and naming it as BOOTPART.
BOOTPART partition should be primary, NTFS and Boot partition. So while making this partition you need to select requires options.
Please select Make this the boot partition check box and check  quick format
Select advanced option and type variable name as BOOTPART


Create a partition  for Operating system drive as per organization policy and make it as a Primary, then select Quick format check box as shown in the screenshot.
Provide partition name and variable name as OSPART for operating system drive.


For data drive create secondary partition and select Partition type as Extended .Then select button for Use percentage of remaining free space and select size as 90%.


Then  create one more partition name as DATA. Select partition type as Logical and size will 100%.
Select quick format and NTFS file system name and advanced option type variable name as DATA
Next step is to apply operating system on proper drive ie. Operating system drives (OSPART).
We can select Apply Operating System Image task of task sequence then browse require image from image location.
At the bottom select location where you want to apply this operating system option. In destination option scroll down and select Logical drive letter stored in a variable option.
In the Variable name box type variable name as OSPART. In this way operating system will be installing on operating system drive.
