Microsoft has resolved a known issue causing incorrect BitLocker encryption errors in managed Windows environments, affecting Intune and third-party MDM solutions. The bug, impacting specific policy settings, is now fixed for Windows 11, Windows 10, and the company’s released updates. However, it won’t fix the bug for Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019, as it only posed a reporting issue.
Based on the meeting notes, here are the key takeaways:
1. Microsoft has fixed a known issue affecting BitLocker drive encryption errors in some managed Windows environments.
2. The bug affected Intune and other MDM platforms, but it was a reporting problem and did not actually impact drive encryption or reporting of other device problems.
3. The bug was fixed in the KB5034204 preview update for Windows 11 and the KB5034763 cumulative update for Windows 10.
4. The bug will not be fixed for Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019, as it is restricted to a reporting scenario and does not impact drive encryption.
5. Admins can mitigate the issue on Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 systems by adjusting the policy settings in Microsoft Intune.
These takeaways summarize the key points from the meeting notes regarding the bug in BitLocker drive encryption and the actions taken by Microsoft to address the issue.
