When trying to initiate Bitlocker on a systemdrive from the command line an error is returned:
ERROR: There was an error while trying to save the key to disk.
This isn’t the first time I ran into this error so now I share this here because the error threw me off. There is nothing wrong with the disk/usb-drive.
Original command:
manage-bde C: -on -StartupKey “U:” -RecoveryKey “F:recoverykeys” -UsedSpaceOnly
Even though Powershell auto-completes path names with the 'tab' key, which is how I typed it, manage-bde does not like it at the end of folders. You must however provide it after your drive-letter.
Remove the trailing backslash.
manage-bde C: -on -StartupKey "U:" -RecoveryKey "F:recoverykeys" -UsedSpaceOnly
