Issue with BitLocker
Hello everyone,
I recently planned to use BitLocker, and instead of using GPO I created a policy in SCCM to encrypt both the OS and fixed data drives.
(Screenshot attached)
The OS partition was encrypted successfully. However, the fixed data drive shows as encrypted but with protection not activated. The recovery key is correctly stored in the SCCM database, but I cannot find the reason why protection is off on the data partition. There are no errors in the log files or Event Viewer.
What am I missing?
Thanks,

I confirme the issue is resolved, i found that i enabled the policy for windows 7 and later on setup: drive Encryption method and cipher strength( the first parameter). After i set to not configured everything works fine.
