    Hi All,

    We configured all our computers bitlocker to require PIN each start-up.

    Also, our group policy is set to automatically install Windows Updates and reboot the computer.

    Any way we can set it up so that the bitlocker realize that the reboot was made because of win updates, and not require the PIN?

    It's important to us because users are working remotely using RDP, and its a real nag to find out the computer was restarted due to win updates and waiting for  PIN to boot up :)

    Any creative ideas?

    Thank!

    Hi,

    You would not complete this purpose. If you set up Pin for each start up, the PC would ask you pin whenever the PC reboot. This is by design.

    There is no automatic support for this but you can temporarily suspend BitLocker protection, patch your Machines and then resume BitLocker protection after the upgrades have been applied. You need to have a configuration for this in Place, i.e. startup script or any other means that will give you a good and working solution.
