Device encryption does not encrpyt new partitions

No log off or restart helps :(

Doesnt start to encrypt the new partition.

Have you assigned the new drive a drive letter and formatted it, or just created a partition?

Hi Reinhard Schwarz.

What is the version of Windows OS that you are using and have you configured the drive volume to be dynamic? Also when you check the management console, do you see the drive letter E: ?

Hi,

i´m using windows 10.

Yes i have formated it to NTFS and gave it a letter.

In the management console the new partitions are displayed, but status stays unencrypted.

Hello,

i got a support ticket, that helped me a little bit.

First, i used client version 7. That was wrong. For the Windows version 1607 i need to use client version 8.

On my own laptop, it worked and all other non-boot partitions got encrypted.

BUT: On another PC, it did not help upgrading the client to version 8.

non-boot volumes still did not encrypt.

I got a download link with a new BitLockerNativeWrapper.dll file.

Normally its for MS Surface Tablets and Books with NVME Drives.

TO DO:

- Rename BitLockerNativeWrapper.dll in %Windir%\SysWow64

- Copy the hotfix dll to %Windir%\SysWow64

- Reboot the system

Now all new partitions got encrypted!  

Today, i connect a second SSD drive to the PC. Nothing happend. No encryption. :(

Why?

Thanks!

Hi.

The new drive will probably not be covered under the current policy. Your current policy probably contains encrypt  internal system boot volumes only and it would need to include non system internal drives as well?

I'm on my phone at present but can add a screenshot soon if that helps?

Yes you can do that, but i think mine is right. It is set to internal storage.

So under Local Storage Devices you have Internal Storage - Boot Volumes - Non Boot Volumes. You have  Internal storage selected and not Boot Volumes category under it?

Is the SSD connected in a standard way, it's not on a removable caddy or anything is it?

The SSD is connected standard way with SATA.

my policy is set only to internal storage, i think this includes boot and non boot volumes?

or do i have to make 2 policies?

Hi Reinhard,

Policy for internal storage covers both boot and non-boot volumes, so that is not an issue. Could you please share the screenshot of the current policy?
