SCCM 2012 R2 & MDT 2013 OSD Refresh - BDEDrive Assigned letter

Question

Hello,
I'm having an issue with my MDT OSD refresh for Win 7 machines. I've capture a Win 7 reference image from a VM using MDT capture TS and I can successfully deploy that image to a bare metal VM
using an MDT integrated SCCM TS. The disk partitions are expected, C:\ is the primary OS and BDEDrive is assigned 500MB and is hidden, no drive letter assigned.

  Volume 2     C   OSDisk       NTFS   Partition     19 GB  Healthy    System

However, when I run a refresh TS to re-deploy the same imaged used in my bare metal TS, the BDEDrive is assigned D:\ and is visible in windows explorer.

In the ‘Formart and Partition Disk 6.1’ step, I have checked the option ‘Do 
not assign a drive letter this partition’ but it’s obviously not working as expected. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Not sure if this is the same as what you are seeing, but check out this post: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/b3e2fc1f-e9df-4c6e-99a5-5d0e0dff648a/refresh-scenario-with-bitlocker-partition?forum=configmgrosd
