ConfigMgr Task Sequence: Configure TPM and enable BitLocker for Dell hardware


Scope

This guide is to help configure a ConfigMgr Task Sequence to automate enabling BitLocker at time of Image Deployment.  This does not detail the steps that are required to extend the Active Directory Schema or create the necessary group policy objects. Details on extending the AD Schema and creating the group policies can be found here

Prerequisites

ConfigMgr 2007
Dell CCTK - Download
Windows 7
TPM 1.2
2008 Active Directory or 2008 Active Directory Schema Extension (to store BitLocker keys)
Active Directory Group Policy (to store BitLocker keys)

Process

Ready ConfigMgr

1.       Install CCTK onto a computer
2.       Create a folder on your SCCM Packages Share called Dell CCTK
3.       Copy the x86 and x86_64 folder from %programfiles%\Dell\CCTK and store them in your new Dell CCTK folder on the SCCM Package Share.
4.       Create a package for each called CCTK x86 and CCTK x64 pointing to their respective locations.
5.       Deploy new packages to distribution points

Configure Drive Partitions in the Task Sequence

1.       Modify your Image Deployment Task Sequence to allow for BitLocker
2.       Partition Disk 0 Task Sequence Step
a.       Create 1 volume called BDE
                                                               i.      Partition Type: Primary Partition
                                                             ii.      Use Specific Size: 1536 MB (may be a bit overkill but I like to put other tools in this partition)
                                                            iii.      Check: Make this the boot partition
                                                           iv.      File System: NTFS
                                                             v.      Check: Quick format
                                                           vi.      Variable:  BDEPART
b.      Create 1 Volume called System
                                                               i.      Partition Type: Primary Partition
                                                             ii.      Use a percentage of remaining free space:  100
                                                            iii.      File System: NTFS
                                                           iv.      Check: Quick format
                                                             v.      Variable:  OSPART
3.       Apply Operating System Task Sequence Step
a.       Ensure the Variables are set
                                                               i.      Destination:  Logical drive letter stored in a variable
                                                             ii.      Variable name:  OSPART

Activate Dell TPM and Enable BitLocker Task Sequence Steps

1.       Modify your Image Deployment Task Sequence for TPM activation
a.       Task Sequence Steps
                                                               i.      Run Command Line - Set the BIOS password:
1.       Command Line:  cctk.exe --setuppwd=<password>
2.       Package: Point to the x86 or x64 CCTK package you created above
                                                             ii.      Run Command Line - TPM enable:
1.       Command Line:  cctk.exe --tpm=on --valsetuppwd=<password>
2.       Package: Point to the x86 or x64 CCTK package you created above
                                                            iii.      Restart Computer
1.       The currently installed default operating system
2.       Uncheck: Notify the user before restarting
                                                           iv.      Run Command Line - TPM Activate:
1.       Command Line:  cctk.exe --tpmactivation=activate --valsetuppwd=<password>
2.       Package: Point to the x86 or x64 CCTK package you created above
                                                             v.      Restart Computer
1.       The currently installed default operating system
2.       Uncheck: Notify the user before restarting
                                                           vi.      Run Command Line - Remove BIOS password:
1.       Command Line:   cctk.exe --setuppwd= --valsetuppwd=<password>
2.       Package: Point to the x86 or x64 CCTK package you created above
                                                          vii.      Enable BitLocker
1.       Choose the drive to encrypt
a.       Current operating system drive
b.      TPM only
2.       Choose where to create the recovery key
a.       In Active Directory
3.       Check: Wait for BitLocker to complete the drive encryption process on all drives before continuing task sequence execution (**If you want the drive to be fully encrypted at the end of the Image ***Will add a considerable amount of time to your imaging solution)
