"BitLocker Recovery" tab disappeared from Server 2019 ADUC

Question

We've got a pair of 2019 DCs. Until this week, we were able to see BitLocker recovery keys for our assets in ADUC.

That tab is just gone now. It's not a GPO issue. Our Group Policy doesn't even allow endpoints to encrypt until after the recovery key has been saved to AD.

I've tried removing and re-adding the BitLocker feature with no change. I'm logging into the DC as a domain admin, and even running ADUC as admin for good measure.

Did Microsoft patch in some new requirement to be able to view this?

Answer 1

Hello,

The BitLocker features of ADUC are now dependent on a separate RSAT feature.

RSAT: BitLocker Drive Encryption Administration Utilities

Add BitLocker features to ADUC:

• Go to "Apps & features"
• Go to "Manage optional features"
• Go to "Add a feature"
• Go to "RSAT: BitLocker Drive Encryption Administration Utilities"
• Click "Install".

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Hania Lian
