FVE_E_ADBACKUP_NOT_ENABLED

The failed prerequisite

FVE_E_ADBACKUP_NOT_ENABLED / 0x803100D5 marks a rejected BitLocker transition: effective policy prevents recovery information for this drive type from being backed up to Active Directory Domain Services.

A managed restriction is part of the security design. Record which authority delivered it and whether the requested operation is mandatory for compliance or merely a convenience feature.

Diagnostic map

Layer	policy and authorization
Proof to collect	drive type, effective recovery-backup policy, domain join, escrow target, policy source and attempted backup method
Different condition	an AD connectivity, schema or permission failure after backup is allowed
First safe change	enable the correct AD DS backup policy centrally or use another approved escrow destination before depending on the protector

BitLocker evaluates the target volume together with effective Group Policy or MDM policy, Windows edition, caller authorization and the requested protector or management method. A policy HRESULT therefore describes a rejected configuration decision, not evidence that encrypted sectors are damaged.

A focused verification sequence

Record drive type, effective recovery-backup policy, domain join, escrow target, policy source and attempted backup method.
