Turning on Bitlocker in Windows 7 Beta

Is it possible to turn on Bitlocker for Windows 7 Beta for disk encryption when installed in Boot Camp?

Hi,
1&2;
We could follow the procedure talked in the below article to enable bitlocker through group policy:
Cannot Save Recovery Information for Bitlocker in Windows 7
Bitlocker is not available in Windows 7 professional, only available in Ultimate and Enterprise, and yes we could do bitlocker in Windows server 2008 R2 environment on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. There are some new changes made in Windows 8 / Windows 8.1,
if we want to configure new policies, then we should consider to use Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, See:
What's New in BitLocker for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012
What's New in BitLocker for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2
3.
For MBAM and its advantages, we may take a look at the following article:
Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM)
4.
We could enable BitLocker without TPM: Allow BitLocker Without A Compatible TPM
5&6.
We could manage TPM using
tpm.msc
If we have policies configured well, then the client side is not able to make changes to the settings.
7.
We might take a look at the following article:
How to backup recovery information in AD after BitLocker is turned ON in Windows 7
8.
For MBAM stuff, see:
Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring

  • Windows Defender Beta 2 Stops iTunes 6.03 From Installing Completely

    Hey,
    There is a bug with Windows Defender Beta 2 and iTunes.
    I thought I would tell apple and Microsoft about it. Check microsoft beta newsgroups.
    When you install iTunes 6.03 and have Windows Defender Beta 2 running it will cause iTunes setup to error with the following:
    http://img324.imageshack.us/img324/2262/itunesinstallerror5it.png
    Clicking ok and install continues like normal and iTunes is installed ok. Have not run into any problems because of the errror in iTunes.
    Now after installing iTunes Windows Defender Beta 2 flags its install since its trying to install a service.
    See:

    And:
    http://img324.imageshack.us/img324/5468/windowsdefenderbeta2allowerror1.png
    So here is to hoping Apple and Microsoft work this out sooner than later.
    Take Care,

    Katrina--Correct me if I'm wrong but there is no way to turn off the new Windows Defender software (it's the replacement for the Microsoft Anti-Spy beta software). Fortunately, I already had iTunes 6.02.23 installed before I installed Windows Defender earlier this week. I had some big problems accessing the music store yesterday, but I've resolved them. (And I really don't think Defender was causing the problems. I think the music store home page was overwhelmed by people participating in the current contest.) If there's a conflict between Defender and iTunes it helps those of us using both to know this. Then we can figure out troubleshooting solutions to resolve the problem. If we come up with workarounds, it helps everyone on this board, doesn't it?
    P.S., I understand Spybot has problems with the newest version of iTunes too. The mini-store is the culprit. I don't think these programs prevent you from using iTunes they just don't like some of the features in the mini store--so they warn you about them.

  • Displaying pdf in browser when using Windows 7 Beta & AR 9

    Early indications are that "Adobe Air" and/or "Acrobat.com" are breaking the display in browser function in Windows 7 Beta when using Adobe Reader 9.
    On a fresh install of Windows 7 Beta, I installed Adobe Reader 9, and as everyone is finding out, you cannot display a pdf in a browser window. Doesn't matter which browser either. IE8, Opera 10a, Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.1.14 had the same result for me. The only workable option was to have the pdf open in a separate window of Adobe Reader itself. Oddly though, on rare occasions I could get a pdf to display in a browser window, but 95% of the time it would not work.
    On another fresh install of Windows 7 Beta, I installed Adobe Reader 9. After installation I opened Adobe Reader and accepted the license agreement, then closed Adobe Reader. Next I uninstalled "Acrobat.com", then uninstalled "Adobe Air" using Programs and Features in Control Panel. So far, I have not had any problem downloading and viewing pdf's in a browser window. Tested with IE8 and Opera 10a. Note that I did not run compatibility mode on Adobe Reader.

    Hi,
    I (April) apologize I have been OOO and have not been able to respond to your replies.  
    Let’s start over. 
    We have an issue where help topics do not display when selected in the TOC or when a link to the topic is clicked within another internal topic. It is in a continous loop in the browser (flickering like it is trying to load). If you right-click on the topic it displays (we are currently using this as the work-around).
    We use Windows 7, IE9 and RH10 for all our projects. (Recently upgraded from RH8 to RH10)
    Turns out the problem is not isolated. I have run across it in at least one other project, which leads me to think it also occurs in others.
    "Does this only occur when the help is called from your software? Is it OK if you double click the start page?"
              No. I it ALSO occurs when launched from the start page. 
    Have you tried deleting the CPD file and reopening Rh and the project?
              Yes, without success.
    Are you using any redirects?    
              Per (Adrienne), “I am not using any redirects. I encounter this issue only in IE. If I paste the .htm into a Firefox browser, the help displays as it should.” 
              I will add that the project also displays incorrectly in Google Chrome.
    Thanks  April

  • MBAM 2.5 Client not show Turn On Bitlocker

    Hello everybody,
    I would like to know why the MBAM Applet not show the Turn on Bitlocker.
    I'm logged with a administrator account and same so not appear the button.
    Look it below:
    Robson Hasselhoff - Follow me @Robk9e

    Yes that is the problem. in both cases your TPM is already owned it should be at "initialize the TPM prompt" TPM is getting initialized and thus you are not getting the prompt. Can you do the following o a power shell. we may need to set physical
    presence as well, as mentioned here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa376478(v=vs.85).aspx 
    a. $tpm=get-wmiobject -class Win32_Tpm -namespace root\cimv2\security\microsofttpm
     b. $tpm.DisableAutoProvisioning()
    c. $tpm. SetPhysicalPresenceRequest(XX)
    d. Restart the machine and if BIOS prompts for accepting the change, please accept the changes made. 
    where XX depends on specific TPM, 14 and 22 are the ones that work most of the times.

  • LR and Windows 7 Beta?

    Has anyone tried Lightroom with Windows 7 Beta yet?
    Thanks,
    David

    Running LR2.2 under Win 7 64-bit and having some problems.
    When I zoom in, either the whole photograph or parts of it disappears into the background colour. Sometimes parts of the image turn 90 degrees when I view around while zoomed.
    The issue could be related to (probably) shaky Nvidia display drivers as I'd assume they are far from being tested-and-true for a beta release. By the way perfomance feels better on Win 7 than on XP: Sliders react faster and lag less, grid view and preview draw is faster too.

  • Encore CS4, Windows 7 (beta) + Blu-ray = blam!

    Anyone else testing on Windows 7 (beta) seen this? On Win7, I've had no issues with Encore through 3 DVD projects, and rendering with After Effects to both MPEG-2 (DVD) and H-264 (Blu-ray 1280x720) has been fast (at least 3x faster than Encore on Vista), but the instant I choose "Blu-ray" from the Build menu, or import a H.264 asset, everything in Windows 7 freezes and I have to do a hard reboot. It's the only Windows 7 major issue I've had so far.
    I've been able to reliable replicate this at least 4 times - start Windows 7 64-bit, open Encore CS4 (fully updated), create a brand new Blu-ray project, and (since the first screen I see says "Build DVD") change the Build drop-down to DVD and - oops, the mouse is frozen, the CPU's pretty much stopped... no, it IS stopped or in some loop or something, but Windows is frozen.
    I'm not expecting Adobe support, but hopefully they can remedy this in the future and - a warning - close all your apps before you try this on your machine. If I switch over to Vista Ultimate 32-bit, I can do the whole blu-ray project through to burning with no errors (I still prefer to transcode in AE, Encore is a slug), but I can't get past that drop-down on Windows 7. Odd.
    My specs: 8GB RAM, Q6600, oodles of HD space, CS4 Master Collection, all latest revs and patches.

    You need to do following things to get it working -
    1.     Install the new pxhlp driver from http://kb.roxio.com/search.aspx?URL=/content/kb/General%20Information/000070GN&PARAMS=
    2.      Turn off the sleep mode off in Windows 7.
              Steps to turn off the sleep mode -             
    1. Go to control panel
    2. Click on system and security
    3. click on power option
    4. click on change plan settings for Power saver
    5. Set the "Put the computer to sleep" value to "Never"

  • Group policy to turn on Bitlocker?

    Is there a way to make sure that Bitlocker is turned on, using GPO? 
    Where would this be found??

  • How do I turn the CSS Rule Window off?

    How do I turn the CSS Rule Window off?
    Please don't say "you really should learn the use of CSS".  I create my own CSS for many years just fine without the nuisance of a popup window.

    Yes, I would also like to know how to turn-off the CSS rule.
    I support a user who has been using DreamWeaver for years and was recently forced to upgrade to the new version. None of the hundreds of files in the site he maintains use CSS. While I recognize it is a "better" and "more efficient" way to do things --- IF you're a sofware engineer -- it is not even close to being worth the cost to revise the entire site and retrain this user.
    So, how can i turn off, not just the pop-up, but how I can tell DW to just go ahead and do it the old-fashioned, embedded in the HTML way of doing things?
    All the user wants to do is change the color of some keywords, css is overkill when that's all he's doing.
    We'd go back to the previous version except the office was forced onto Vista and the older version won't run.

  • Portege R500 - anybody using DVI over Port Replicator II on WIndows 7 Beta?

    Hi,
    im using the WIndows 7 beta on my R500 and it's runnig everything well except the DVI-Port (over the Slim Port Replicator II).
    All I have installed are the Fingreprint-Software, the bluetooth-stack (which were recommended as solution by the action-centre) and the "TOSHIBA Value Added Package" which adds the Power Management software, control over the 2 hardware Buttons and gives the FN-onscreen-menu to control the FN1-9 functions.
    I think I can say it is definatively an driver issue, because if I start the R500 the windows loading-screen is shown on my external screen but when he switches to the desktop the external screen turns off and the desktop appears on the laptop screen. Also no chance to activate it via FN+F5.
    I tried it with the buildin Windows 7 driver, the newest intel driver (15.8.3) and the vista driver provided by toshiba (7.14.10.1244), but unlucky none of them works :(
    Btw: the vga output works, but only UNdocked :(
    Has anyone a solution or a hint what to do or try?

    Hello,
    the second monitor does not appear in the display settings if the laptop is docked. Even connected to the vga it is not been recognized while this state.
    Undocked the vga port works immediately and is shown in the display settings and over FN+F5!
    With one driver (didn't remember which one exactely) the FN+F5 menu showed me all options (docked!) (Internal, vga+int, vga only, dvi+int, dvi only) but i couldnt switch to dvi. It was the same behaviour like under XP where I had to boot the Laptop with the DVI-TFT connected (i used Hibernation everytime i docked the r500). But under Win7 this worked, as I said before, only for the "pre-boot" sequence. The windows loading screen showed up, but during switching to the desktop the DVI-port got deactivated.
    Recently i dont know my actual BIOS Version, I will check this and try the newest version.

  • Boot Camp 2.1 will not install in Windows 7 beta 1

    I have installed the 32-bit Windows 7 beta 1 on my MacBook using Boot Camp 2.0. I cannot for the life of me get the 2.1 update installed. After downloading in Windows, I run the setup and it asks me if it's okay to allow that file to make changes to my system. I agree but it stops there. Nothing happens. I made sure that I downloaded the 32-bit version for Vista and still nothing. Do I need to create a disc?

    I figured that because Boot Camp is only compatible for XP and Vista, yet I was able to install Windows 7 just fine, that the boot camp update would follow suit. My thought is that 7 is using a very similar build to Vista in that the difference is so slight in the build that Boot Camp thinks that it is Vista. I have heard success stories of Windows 7 in Boot Camp 2.1

  • How do I turn off the downloads window?

    How do I turn off the downloads window? I recently upgraded FF, hated the new one, so downgraded back. When I upgraded I got the new downloads ribbon at the bottom of the screen and no longer had the downloads window. However, for whatever reason I decided to turn the window on. But when I downgraded I realized that this interferes with programs that I had previously set up to download directly to a certain program. Bottom line... I do NOT want the downloads window.

    I know you can go to Tools, then Options, and click the Downloads tab and configure how you want it that way. Do you have the Download Manager Tweak as an add on?

  • Windows Vista Beta

    HomeSite and Windows Vista Beta:
    I have used homeSite almost from its initial release many
    years ago. Version 5.0 has been loaded and reloaded on I think 3
    platforms now, maybe four.
    I have recently installed windows Vista Beta and was deeply
    distressed to find that the code would not install. Because Vista
    released a short time ago (June 13, 2006) there may be a workaround
    for the install. Until that time I will simply dual boot back to
    Windows XP and continue to use homeSite 5.0 from there.
    I have a legitimate copy (albeit unregistered) of the code.
    Rick ..

    You may have found this out by now... but Ill post it anyway
    I had the same prob getting homesite to work in Vista, and
    manage to getting it working in compatibility mode... worked quite
    well actually.
    Navigate to your homesite.exe and right click, then in
    properties there is an compatibilty option, set it to Windows XP
    Service Pack 2 and all should be good. I think you may need to
    disable the homesite splash screen too.. Im sure that screwed
    things up for me.
    Eitherway I got it working in the end, but Im back to XP
    now.

  • Issue with GEAR Software CD/DVD Drivers + Windows Vista Beta 2 (build 5384)

    I am using Windows Vista Beta 2 (Build 5384), and yes I know Vista is NOT officially supported by iTunes yet. However, iTunes installs and works ok for me, except that there is an issue with the GEAR Software drivers that it installs (used for cd burning and importing). The issue is that the driver (GEARAspiWDM.sys) is not compatible with Windows Vista. Normally this would not be an issue; I would just use a different program to create audio cd's. The issue is that the drive makes both my DVD-Rom and my DVD/CD-RW drive disappears (they are still listed in the device manager, but they have driver errors, code 39).
    So I was wondering if anyone in Mac/Apple land knows of a way to disable/uninstall the GEAR drivers so I can still use iTunes?
    And yes I did search the GEAR Software support page, but could not find an appropriate solution.
    Thank you.
    Chuck Stewart

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
