Description:

Previous	Next
FVE_E_OS_VOLUME_PASSPHRASE_NOT_ALLOWED	FVE_E_VOLUME_TOO_SMALL

FVE_E_INVALID_BITLOCKER_OID

The identifier is policy metadata, not a certificate EKU

BitLocker can store an organizational identification field on a protected drive. Administrators use it with removable-drive access policies to distinguish drives belonging to an organization. FVE_E_INVALID_BITLOCKER_OID indicates that this stored identification value is invalid or corrupted.

Despite the word “OID” in the constant, this condition should first be investigated as the drive identification field. It is separate from certificate Enhanced Key Usage errors such as FVE_E_NON_BITLOCKER_OID.

What to inspect

Read the effective “Provide the unique identifiers for your organization” policy on the managing device.
Compare the identifier configured by policy with the value expected on the drive.
Use manage-bde -setidentifier only on an unlocked volume and after preserving recovery information.
Do not replace certificate EKU settings when the fault is in the volume identification field.
