SCCM Bitlocker Disk Partition Task Sequence Problems - 9/16/2008 1:28:53 PM

Status: offline 		In the tast sequence I created two primary volumes. The primary volume is the MBR with a 1538 MB fixed size.

The problem i'm having is naming the drive letter to Q. I used the Advanced option with a Variable Q in the Format and Partition Disk properties . During the imaging process SCCM chooses the next available drive letter D by default. Does anyone know how to assign a drive letter?

Thanks,
Calvin

You can't set a drive letter while in Winpe, as it won't be kept anyway.
however, you can use the Q variable you set in the TS to change the drive letter to Q after you reboot in a full os.
(the variable will be kept after reboot). You will need to script this though.

I don't see a reason why the diskpart command would not work
you would have to select the volume based on your variable, then change drive letter
assign letter=o:
(you might also check that the drive is not being used already).

Status: offline 		This doesn't work because you can't modify the drive letter assignment on a boot partition.  I'm trying to work through this same issue, and it's a pain in the ass.  If you follow Microsoft's steps for using the built-in Format and Partition Disk and Enable BitLocker tasks, you get C and D partitions and your DVD drive becomes E, which is not acceptable for our 40,000 users.
