FVE_E_AD_GUID_NOT_FOUND

FVE_E_AD_GUID_NOT_FOUND means the client could not locate the AD DS attribute identified by the expected schema GUID. This usually indicates an incomplete schema or a mismatch between the BitLocker policy and directory capabilities.

What to verify

Verify the AD DS forest schema supports the recovery information that the current BitLocker policy requires.
Compare the result with a device in the same domain where recovery backup works.
Correct directory configuration centrally rather than changing individual endpoint settings to hide the error.
