Are you having issues logging into Windows 10 after completing an in-place upgrade from Windows 7 or 8.1? If so, keep reading. You may have already discovered that you are able to log in with an admin user successfully and the problem appears to only effect non-admin users. Open the registry (Regedit.exe) and check the […]
I am in the process of certifying several new Dell laptops (5480, 5580 and 7280) and have run into a BitLocker encryption issue with Windows 7.

Hmmmm, we followed the same guidelines as dell and imported a local policy setting during the task sequence waaaay before BitLocker (which is our last step). We verified that the registry values match in that key (“2″=dword:00000000) and still we get the error when plugging in the “docking station”. Anything else we should be looking for in this?ReplyCancel

Are you pre-provisioning BitLocker in your task sequence? The registry value needs to be set prior to this…which means to continue to pre-provision you must set the value directly in your WIM. If you’re not using pre-provision I would add a pause in your task sequence just before enabling BitLocker and confirm the registry setting is set properly. You could also try setting the registry value with a REG ADD command instead of importing local policy.ReplyCancel

You come into the office Monday morning to find someone deleted your AD machine account. First, it’s no surprise as it is Monday. Rather than logging in locally to re-join the domain, you can use the Restore-ADObject PowerShell cmdlet to quickly restore the account. Verify the machine account exists in the Deleted Objects container: *replace […]
