USMT Hardlinking and Bitlocker formatting

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, im sure this has been covered before but I cannot find the definitive answer im looking for.

 

So, where i work we have a bare metal TS which does a format and partition to cover us for Bitlocker pre provisioning. This works great and we can build machines no problem.

 

We have been asked to look at USMT and previously I have used hard linking with great success, however this was some time ago now and im a little rust on the subject.

 

I really don't want to have multiple task sequences to manage so any help to get this all working within one would be great.

 

With our existing TS as stated we use bitlocker pre-provisioning which requires a separate partition for the bitlocker steps. When using hardlinking we obviously don't want to format the drive as we will loose the user state data. How are people managing this? We must do the partitioning steps for bitlocker however in the refresh scenario we cant do this. eeeek help ;0) Im sure there are many of your out there that have come across this and have a method to cover all based within one TS.

 

Any help is hugely appreciated.

 

Jason

take a look at the CM12 UEFI BitLocker HTA task sequence, it covers this and a whole lot more in the task sequence and associated scripts. no need to reinvent the wheel
