Cannot enable Bitlocker after imaging with DIA
After using DIA to reimage PC's with Windows 11 24h2 we are seeing
"The path specified in the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) for a BitLocker Drive Encryption integrity-protected application is incorrect. Please verify and correct your BCD settings & try again."
We were were not having this problem with 23h2. The work around to edit the BCD is all very well but the values to edit do not seem to be consistent across multiple PC's, and is also a time waister. Is there a way to sop it happening in the first place?

Here is the solution
1- Create a file named “after_restore.cmd” with the following command in it.
"bcdboot O:\Windows /s S: /f UEFI"
(no quotes & 1 line)
2- Place it in the Dell_Tools folder on the first partition of the DIA USB (FAT32) and then image.

I did this manually and I was able to turn on BitLocker.
Open command prompt, DiskPart, List Volume, exit diskpart. Note the Volume number of the system partition and replace the 1 after Volume on both commands with the number of the system volume on your computer. Run the following commands.
bcdedit -set {BOOTMGR} device partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume1
bcdedit -set {MEMDIAG} device partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume1
How do I fix my Golden Image so when I capture it with image assist all my computers will work without these extra steps on each computer?

@abakr Does this work on every computer you image from your usb stick.

@Sammie2025 Yes the fix above fixes your issue as it rebuilds the BCD after imaging.

@abakr I just tried your solution and it worked perfectly for me. For me some computers image fine and BitLocker works with my Group Policy and some don't work until I use your fix. I'm starting to think it could be the age of the computer i'm working on but who knows. Thank you for the solution.

When I'd seen this previously, it was because Secure Boot was disabled.
