Max Number of Bitlocker Encryptions

Unsure if this is the correct place to ask, but do you know if there is a maximum number of USB drives one person can encrypt on a single computer that saves passwords to Active Directory.
A user gets access denied when trying to encrypt a USB stick like he normally would. We see in the PC container that he has 48 recovery passwords saved with AD. Would this be causing an issue with his USB drive encryption?

Hi.
I don't think the number is a concern. Never read about that being a problem and MS would tell you, I am sure. The space consumption in AD is ridicoulus, at least.
I would try another USB device and if it does not work, test another user on the same machine. If that does not work, I would take a VM, programatically format a test partition, encrypt it, decrypt, encrypt... until I reach that number - I bet it won't stop
there.

  • Problems with Comodo Kill Switch, Windows Services & Bitlocker Encryption on Asus N56VZ

    Hi All,
    So recently I found myself stuck in a different scenario than before, and after many hours researching and efforts to fix this I still find myself stuck  yet with a few options still to fix.
    What is the problem?
    So as a security cautious user when i first got to Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit I encrypted both the C and D drive (Split the main disk) to protect myself and my family. Unfortunately that has not been very helpful with the way in which booting and running from
    either external USB devices or CD/DVD works, not allowing myself to at all.
    My usual security suit I  use is Comodo Internet Security, which additionally comes with Comodo Kill Switch. Whilst using the application instead of stopping one of the TCP connections I was meant to I accidently stopped an Windows Explorer connection.
    For some reason since then Windows Explorer, nor most windows apps or services themselves will run. For example msconfig will run but sfc /scannow or mmc will not, whether in safe mode or normal mode.
    What Caused the Problem?
    Cannot 100% say
    What I Think Caused the Problem?
    Myself running Comodo Kill Switch stopping a vital server connection with Windows Explorer that messed up alot. Or a potential Virus unknown how cannot fully scan system as wont boot externally or run many apps.

  • Is Diskpart unable to clean bitlocker encrypted Windows 8 to go installations?

    Hi all.
    I am aware that this is a configuration that not many of you will have, but worth a try...
    I am running windows 8.1 enterprise x64 installed on a USB drive as windows to go. The USB drive is a supported one for this configuration, Kingston Data Traveller 32 GB. Also I use bitlocker to encrypt the whole drive and all works very nice.
    Lately however, I wanted to restore an image backup to the drive, so I plugged it into another pc running windows 8.1 enterprise.
    The imaging software however was not able to write to the drive and told me, it is in use. So I looked at explorer, but it was not even mounted, which is expected behavior with windows 8.1.
    To overcome the problem, I tried to clean the drive using diskpart and this is where the question starts: Although diskpart told me that cleaning was successful, the imaging software was still not able to write to the drive! So I said, "damn
    it, win8.1, what's wrong? I'll use windows 7 to replay the image to the drive!"
    On windows 7 I was flabbergasted after inserting the drive: I was presented a message from bitlocker to go which asked me for the password (which I provided and which worked). I did not get that on 8.1!
    Attention, the question is right here:
    Why is diskpart unable to clean the drive? Why does it tell me "cleaning was successful" (and I could verify that, partitions were indeed removed) although it is obviously unable to remove the bitlocker info?
    So far, my understanding of diskpart's clean command was that it completely resets the drive.
    Am I right, or what did I miss? Is diskpart not supported on "windows 8.1 to go"?

    I dont think diskpart will remove bitlocker encryption.. To remove encryption you must use decryption method.. If you have forgotten password you have to use bitlocker recovery key
    Try try Bitlocker repair tool if the partition is damaged..http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17294

    Hi Jason
    See below. The problem is that on some of our laptops not anywhere geographically close to our IT department, the laptop has been setup with 2 partitions and on some only with 1 partition (we used another deployment system 2 years ago), so I am trying
    to prepare all our corporate laptops for Bitlocker encryption. The reason why I made this task sequence was to hit all those laptops that is not being reinstalled / installed again in the near future.
    Do you have any suggestions, should it help to remove the cmd.exe /c in front of the Bitlocker cmd line ?
    We have tried the MBAM solution, but in my opinion too many problems with the MBAM client.

  • BitLocker Encryption ToGo; Decryption Issue.

    I currently have a USB drive that has been partially encrypted with BitLocker Encryption, but will not allow me to unlock it. I have looked for many resources on solving this issue, but have decided to post my details.
    I am running Windows 7 Enterprise. I have the Password and I have a FIPS-140-2 complaint Recovery Key. All of my USB drives have the FAT32 file system. I do not have a TPM or Smart Card, but i do have the 256 bit FVE key. I have not tried unlocking on another
    computer with BitLocker Encryption.
    First of all i successfully encrypted one USB drive with no issues and stored the key on another USB drive. Next I encrypted a hard disk drive and stored the key on the same USB drive. Next i begun encrypted the USB drive that had the keys stored on it,
    but realized i had to have had encrypt another drive first so I stopped the encryption at about 4%, by closing BitLocker. I realize this is where i must have gone wrong, because i stopped the encryption algorithm as it was already started. BitLocker took awhile
    to close so i assumed it reversed encrypted what it had already encrypted. I then encrypted the other drive and stored the key on the USB drive with the keys on it. According to a BitLocker policy the keys encrypt each other and become chained together, but
    this may not be relevant to the issue. I resumed the encryption process of the partly encrypted USB drive and stored the key on an entirely separate and not yet encrypted USB drive and this seemed to complete with no issues. Then i encrypt the final USB drive
    and stored the key on a non encrypted hard disk.
    Now the problem I am having is when I attempt to unlock the USB drive with the keys on it. The drive unlocks, but then unmounts itself and asks for the password again and this ends up being an endless loop. I decide to decrypt all drives in the order i encrypted
    them and there appears to be no issue except for with the USB drive with most of the keys on it. I am unable to unlock and decrypt the USB with the keys on it so i skip this drive in the process and I am able to fully decrypt the rest of the drives using the
    keys stored on the "broken" encrypted drive regardless of skipping decrypting it. If I attempt to decrypt or unlock the USB drive with the keys on it I can not, so I tried rebooting. Now when I attempt to unlock the drive using the password through
    the BitLocker Encryption Manager the manager seems to freeze and goes into a non responsive mode and I am unable to close it, even after safely removing the USB drive.
    I have tried a few different methods to solve this issue, but fear that without manually decrypting every single bit exactly how they were encrypted the data may be lost.
    I use an elevated command prompt to use the standard "manage-bde d: -unlock -pw" and then enter the password, but this seems to only unlock the drive momentarily before it unmounts itself.
    I have also tried using "manage-bde d: -unlock -recoverykey '[recoverykey/path].bek'", but this shows the same behavior.
    I have also tried using "repair-bde d: e: -recoverykey '[recoverykey/path].bek'" and the command prompt says "Error: Cannot open 'D:'. Check that it is not currently in use. To continue even when the volume is in use, add the -Force option.".
    Not using the "-Force" parameter allows me to access the drive as if it isn't locked, but only lets me see the "COV 0000. ER" and other BitLocker ToGo autorun files, while not letting me modify or copy the "COV 0000. ER" file.
    I am able to view the "COV 0000. ER" file with a hex editor, but do not want to have to screen capture every screen worth of characters to attempt to manually decrypt the entire two gigabytes of information, while still not knowing exactly what timestep
    the encryption algorithm actually stopped at.
    If I use "repair-bde d: e: -recoverykey '[recoverykey/path].bek'" again or use the "repair-bde d: e: -recoverykey '[recoverykey/path].bek' -force" the drive seems to respond and starts scanning for BitLocker metadata, and boot sectors.
    I am then prompted "LOG INFO: 0x00000027", "Valid metadata at offset 579055616 found at scan level 1.", "LOG INFO: 0x00000028 Successfully created repair context. Beginning decryption". The "d:" USB drive is approximately
    two gigabytes, while the "e:" is approximately eight gigabytes. This then does from 1% to 99% without any issues. As the decryption process hits 99%, I am prompted with a popup "repair-bde.exe - Wrong Volume", "The wrong volume is
    in the drive. Please insert volume into drive \Device\Harddisk2\DR8", "Cancel: Try Again: Continue" and the encrypted USB unmounts itself again and asks for the password through the BitLocker Drive Encryption Manager. No matter which of the
    three choices I select the command prompt then says "LOG ERROR: 0xc0000035 Failed to read sector at offset 2000010000. <0x00000002>" and repeats untill it hits "2015160832" and then says "Decrypting: 100% Complete. Finished decryption.
    ACTION REQUIRED: Run 'chkdsk D: /f' before viewing decrypted data. Now I still have the USB drive with the keys on it, but it remains locked, but now the eight gigabyte USB drive I used as "e:" is seen as a "RAW" filesystem under "Disk
    Management", but "FAT32" under "My Computer". If i try to open "e:" I am prompted to format the drive before using it. If I use "RUN" to attempt to check the disk for errors in "read-only mode" the drive
    is detected as if it was the "NTFS" file format, but does not seem to have any errors.
    If I choose to format the USB drive "e:" I am able to use it, but it appears blank. Using third party recovery software I am able to retrieve some of the data from the partition, which was on "d:", but it appears to be partly decrypted
    still or possibly fragmented. I realize this step isn't because of BitLocker and may be due to the software used to retrieve the information.
    I am able to repeat this temporarily unlocking of "d:" and attempting to recover process over and over, while still getting the same result.
    Another interesting note is, when I use "manage-bde -status", when the drive is locked I can see that the encrypted drive "d:" is still protected with a password and external key. If I use "repair-bde d: e: -recoverykey '[recoverykey/path].bek"
    to temporally unlock the drive and then use "manage-bde -status" the drive "d:" reads the status as "Size: 1.88 GB, BitLocker Version: None, Conversion Status: Fully Decrypted, Percentage Encrypted: 0%, ERROR: An error occurred <code
    0x80070057>:, The parameter is incorrect.".
    Also when the USB drive is temporally unlocked using "repair-bde d: e: -recoverykey '[recoverykey/path].bek" and I use "manage-bde d: -off" I am prompted "ERROR: An error occurred <code 0x80310008>: BitLocker Drive Encryption
    is not enabled on this drive. Turn on BitLocker.". If I use "manage-bde d: -on" the USB drive is detected by BitLocker as having no name, as expected, but also "ERROR: An error occurred <code 0x8031002e>: BitLocker Drive Encryption
    cannot encrypt the specified drive because an encryption key is not available. Add a key protector to encrypt this drive." If I use "manage-bde d: -on -recoverykey '[recoverykey/path].bek'" then BitLocker detects the drive, but prompts "Key
    Protectors Added: ERROR: An error occurred <code 0x8031002d>: The drive encryption algorithm and key cannot be set on a previously encrypted drive. To encrypt this drive with BitLocker Drive Encryption, remove the previous encryption and then turn on
    BitLocker."
    If I use "manage-bde d: -protectors -disable" I am prompted "ERROR: An error occurred <code 0x8031002d>: The drive encryption algorithm and key cannot be set on a previously encrypted drive. To encrypt this drive with BitLocker Drive
    Encryption, remove the previous encryption and then turn on BitLocker.", but if I use "manage-bde d: -protectors -enable" I am prompted "ERROR: An error occurred <code 0x80310001>: This drive is not encrypted.".
    A review of my issue is that I have a BitLocker Encrypted USB Drive, which will not allow me to unlock it no matter how i attempt to do it. I end up with the USB drive automatically unmounting itself when I try to unlock it and this will not allow me to
    decrypt it.
    Thank You in advance for taking the time and consideration to fully understand and read my post. I would have went to the Microsoft professional support hotline, but it would have cost about $250.00 for me to attempt to explain this very large amount of
    text that I had to proof read and edit.
    I believe I have stated all the information that is relevant to the issue I am having and I would appreciate any help that would help me resolve my problem decrypting the information, without the need to manually decrypt every single bit or using an at least
    128 D-Bit quantum computer, "Qumputer".
    I have considered these resources already, but am willing to reconsider them if i missed something.

    Hi,
    Did you remember clear which one store in which one? It's so complex on your description.
    Have you tried to recover the drive which the most key stored in it by non encrypted hard disk that stored in the USB drive key?
    If it still failed, i would like to suggest you contact the professional data recovery center for help.
    Note: It's not recommend you use third party software to recover. Since your data might lost because of some fault.

    Sorry i tried to explain my situation as thoroughly as possible without having to take screen captures of each step of the process.
    I have written down what keys were stored where, so there shouldn't be any chance of mixing up the keys. I have also attempted to recover using a different key. Possibly using a different key causes the drive to attempt to decrypt with the wrong algorithm
    and actually encrypting the data even more, but this doesn't seem to be the case because it just fails and goes back into the state it was in.
    Also how would one get a hold of the professional data recovery team. Them being "professionals" i would assume their services are not free, but i may be mistaken.
    Also I will not attempt to use "third party software" again, but I was just getting desperate and that is why I tried it on the partition of the backup, which appears to be blank anyways. This isn't relevant to the issue at hand though.
    I know encryption isn't 100% non reversible no matter how large of the keys and algorithms are, so there should always be a way to decrypt.

  • Is there a max number of names that can be put into Contacts

    is there a max number of names that can be put into Contacts and still have the app work well?

    Yes, there is. It's how many contacts your hard drive can take. So you can fill up the entire computer with nothing but contacts until your HDD/Flash has no space left. So if you have 250GB, it'd be less than if you had 500GB and you'd have more on 750GB.

  • Max number of chars in process message MSEL?

    Hi, what is the max number of characteristics can be used in process message category's MSEL table? Right now, I am using more than 99 characteristics and I get a short dump DYNPRO_FIELD_CONVERSION. Is it really limited to 99 characteristics and if it is true, is there an OSS note to change it to allow more than 99?
    Thanks and points available

    Please make sure that you build a
    multithreaded program first (check with ldd).
    If anyone can tell me the maximum number of threads per process I would
    really appreicate it.
    Also the maximum number of open files per process. It depends on the architecture (x86/SPARC), OS version,
    64 or 32-bit, /etc/system, shell limitations (/usr/bin/ulimit) ...
    Search for "rlim_fd_max / rlim_fd_cur" on docs.sun.com too.

  • What is the max number of hyperlinks supported in a PDF docment?

    What is the max number of hyperlinks supported in a PDF docment?
    How do I find out how many hyperlinks there are in a PDF document?

    I don't think there's a limit to the number of links you can add to a file...
    This code (taken from the reference files) will report the number of links in your file:
    var numLinks=0;
    for ( var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
    var b = this.getPageBox("Crop", p);
    var l = this.getLinks(p, b);
    console.println("Number of Links on page " + p +" is " + l.length);
    numLinks += l.length;
    console.println("Number of Links in Document is " + numLinks);

  • Max number of Hits Account Identification

    Hi all,
    we are currently having the problem in IC that when somebody try to identify an account of an BP with more that 100 related sold to parties, that no account is displayed because of the standard max number of hits 100.
    I have found the path to customize this in the SPRO but this sentence in the SAP help is making me some headache:
    The higher the number you enter here, the more results the system will search for, and in turn, the more performance is affected. The maximum number of hits that the system allows is 100, which is also the default value.
    I understand the point of the performance, but does this mean that the performance is also affected the account identification of the other BP with less than 100 related sold to parties?
    Can anybody help in this issue?
    We are working on CRM 5.0.
    Regards
    Abosi
    Edited by: Abosi_3li2 on Feb 8, 2012 11:08 AM

    Hello
    The bug of nothing displayed if over 100 accounts are found is solved with [SAP note 1467929|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1467929.]
    The code you are referring to is:
    IF bpident_profile-max_hits IS INITIAL.
    max_hits = 100.
    ELSE.
    max_hits = bpident_profile-max_hits.
    ENDIF.
    It means that, if blank, 100 hits is considered. You can modify the customizing up to 255 results since that is the limit of accounts to be found.
    Regards

  • "max number of thread"

    We are running a java web app on a Ubuntu Oracle WebLogic server version 10.3.3.
    The java web app performs long polls with open tcp socket to keep the client connection open. The clients are long polling the WebLogic at 30 seconds.
    Currently we are not able to maintain stability for greater than 24 hours with approximately 200 simultaneous sessions on WebLogic server. Session to me is active client/server tcp connection. We have re-written our application to use continuations, but we are seeing ConcurrentModificationException errors in performance testing.
    Is there any setting in WebLogic for “max number of thread” that can handle?
    Edited by: user9316392 on Jul 8, 2010 11:07 AM

    First, WebLogic since 9.0 has a self-tuning thread pool where WLS will automatically grow and shrink the number of threads based on some internal algorithms. I'm not aware of a hard limit so theoretically there is no max thread count as long as the JVM has memory and WLS thinks more threads will help. You can read up on it here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/dev2arch/2006/01/workload-management.html
    Practically, I wouldn't expect more than several hundred threads to be helpful.
    As for your situation, how does WLS become unstable? Out of memory, out of file descriptors, errors on new requests, etc. I think you're going to have to use some JVM tools to see what happens to your JVM over time. Is there a memory leak somewhere, is it non-heap memory, etc. JRockit Mission Control is helpful if running on JRockit. If you're on Sun Hotspot, them presumably you can use some of the Hotspot tools. You'll want to compare the state of the JVM towards the beginning of your load test, but after a slight warm-up period with a snapshot after the load test has been running for a long period of time.

  • Max number of buffers

    For fast image grabbing I wand to store images in the memory of the PC. To do this I use LL ring buffering. The max number of buffers is limited by Labview to 50. I tried to increase this by MAX >>Tools >> IMAQ (like suggested on the site) but Labview keeps setting it back to 50, also after rebooting. How can I get this to a higher value?

  • Max number of simultaneous connections?

    Hi everyone!
    how is possible to determine in advance the max number of simultaneous connection for my FMS?
    thanks!

    Hi,
    Like Jay had mentioned the limitation on the number of connection to server depends on the capability of your server.
    You can get the maximum number of connections made to the server, number of active clients... etc details through Administration APIs.
    'getServerStats' gives you the "total_connects", which is the maximum number of connections made to the server. "connected" property will return the number of active clients to your server at one point. It also has many more statistics for your reference. This api returns the overall information of the server. If you want to get the details for specific vhost, you can use getVHostStats or getActiveVHostStats. To get more details on Administration API, refer your pdf documentation on "Administration API", that gets installed in your system under "$Root\Flash Media Server\documentation\flashmediaserver_3.5_administrationAPI.pdf".
