FVE_E_POLICY_USER_DISABLE_RDV_NOT_ALLOWED

FVE_E_POLICY_USER_DISABLE_RDV_NOT_ALLOWED The effective policy prevents a user from turning off BitLocker on a removable data drive. The volume must remain protected unless an authorized policy or management action changes that requirement.

What to check

  • Check the effective removable-drive policy and determine whether this is a user-permission restriction or a compliance requirement.
  • Do not start decryption through unapproved tooling; it can create a compliance or data-exposure incident.
  • Use the organization’s approved escalation path if the media must be decrypted or retired.
