Ever since we upgraded to 11 for our techs to start testing, the bitlocker recovery tab does not show up in AD. I cannot find the option for it on the PC itself. It does show up on the DC, but not the PCs that we have RSAT installed on. This is only happening on the windows 11 PCs.

    The following post may help you..... https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/aduc-missing-bitlocker-recovery-tab-in-1809/ae245c70-43ab-4a8a-9f6a-f6312f459d08

    It looks like it is not something to need to specifically enable.

    HI

    This PowerShell command solved my problem and added the tab back after I upgraded my PC to Windows 11.

    Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.BitLocker.Recovery.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
