FVE_E_POLICY_USER_ENABLE_RDV_NOT_ALLOWED

FVE_E_POLICY_USER_ENABLE_RDV_NOT_ALLOWED The effective policy prevents the user from turning on BitLocker for a removable data drive. The restriction can be deliberate when encryption must be centrally managed or removable media is prohibited.

What to check

  • Confirm the drive type and whether the policy is supplied by domain Group Policy, MDM, or another management source.
  • Ask the policy owner for the approved process rather than attempting to work around the block.
  • If the drive is managed, verify whether an administrator or deployment service must initiate encryption.
