Thunderbolt Dock and Bitlocker

JohnMintz

Does anyone else run the new thunderbolt docking systems and run into issues with bitlocker requesting recovery key after undocking?  I have found a work around of disabling thunderbolt support but no fix.

    Response from Microsoft on this issue:

    "BitLocker is designed to go into recovery mode when docking/undocking a portable PC.

    Docking or undocking a portable computer. In some instances (depending on the computer manufacturer and the BIOS), the docking condition of the portable computer is part of the system measurement and must be consistent to validate the system status and unlock BitLocker. This means that if a portable computer is connected to its docking station when BitLocker is turned on, then it might also need to be connected to the docking station when it is unlocked. Conversely, if a portable computer is not connected to its docking station when BitLocker is turned on, then it might need to be disconnected from the docking station when it is unlocked."
