SCCM 2012 - How to automate O.S. deployment, TPM bios enable, OSD task sequencer on Dell/Lenovo/HP Pc

I found interesting articles that show you how to automate images deployment and bitlocker implementation too with SCCM.



 

Here is old Bitlocker blog article:

At the same time to deploy Bitlocker you need to enable TPM inside Bios, about that you can view tool and syntax giving a look to following links:

HP and Dell PCs:

here you can find relative article that explain you how to proceed with SCCM 2012 

http://www.sccm.biz/2012/06/sccm-and-bitlocker-tpm-real-life.html

The maily idea is to have OU/Bitlocker GPO already setting up, later, depending on your pc vendor, add commands that enable, in BIOS, TPM processor.

If you want to store Bitlocker password in AD you can take a look to this article:

Hacker - Truecrypt alternatives

Several security bugs have been not resolved.

You fan review this article about some alternatives that I summarize them in this article too.

https://www.comparitech.com/blog/information-security/truecrypt-is-discoutinued-try-these-free-alternatives/,.


Here they are Truecrypt alternatives (from my side I use, normally, 2. and 7. options):
  1. VeraCrypt You can find a full list of improvements and corrections that VeraCrypt made on TrueCrypt here. It is open source and free.
  2. Bitlocker no encrypted containers ability and not open source.
  3. DiskCryptor supports encryption of external devices including hard drives, USB drives, CDs, and DVDs
  4. CipherShed
  5. FileVault 2 Apple’s answer to Bitlocker, no encrypted containers ability and not open source.
  6. LUKS
  7. SafeHouse Explorer – 3.01 Portable
