In an MBAM report, what does "Unable to Find Compatible TPM" mean?

Question

All of our machines are fairly new and have recent TPM chips.  Does this error mean:
1. The TPM is not enabled in the BIOS.
2. The TPM is enabled in the BIOS, but no one has taken ownership of it?
3. It could mean either of the above cases.
If it just needs to have someone take ownership of it, is there a way to do that remotely via the manage-bde.exe tool?

Answer 1

"To enable BitLocker you need to have the following requirements satisfied...
The computer must have a version 1.2 TPM chip or later.
The BIOS must support Trusted Computing Group (TCG) specifications.
The TPM chip must be enabled in the BIOS.
Above error indicates that you are missing the requirements..."
When I try to enable bit locker it gives me an error and won't allow me to enable it.
