Volume C: is not a local hard drive

Hi,

Getting the below message during the Pre-provision BitLocker step.

The task sequence execution engine failed executing the action (Pre-provision BitLocker) in the group (Apply OS) with the error code 2147500037

Answer 1

Looking at my logs, it should say Volume C: is a valid drive
https://docs.recastsoftware.com/ConfigMgr-Docs/TaskSequence/SCCM_TaskSequence_Step_EnableBitlocker.html

If you pause the TS before this step, can you confirm the drive is already formatted and "C" Been assigned to the Windows Partition?

Hi,

>Volume C: is not a local hard drive.

We could try to use diskpart command to list all partition.
