FVE_E_POLICY_USER_CERTIFICATE_REQUIRED

FVE_E_POLICY_USER_CERTIFICATE_REQUIRED The effective BitLocker policy requires a valid user-certificate or smart-card protector, but the current request does not provide one. The required enrollment and certificate lifecycle must be in place before encryption can comply.

What to check

Verify that the user has the required certificate and that the managed policy targets this drive type.
Confirm the organization’s approved certificate-enrollment and renewal process before adding the protector.
Keep a verified recovery path in case the certificate or smart card becomes unavailable.
