BitLocker Network Unlock is not working


hello!

we have been trying network unlock working bitlocker. working before doesn't anymore since tried deploy on our actual wds server instead of test server. moving on certificates didn't seem work, , creating new ones same .inf file don't work either. keep getting pin prompt on client machine.

here symptoms:

  • on client machine, event log says "bootmgr failed obtain bitlocker volume master key network key protector".
  • on wds server, "[wdsserver/wdspxe/nkpprov] not find configuration file section corresponding specified certificate thumbprint. no subnet restrictions apply certificate. certificate thumbprint = <our certificate>, hresult = 0x80070002.
  • also, "[wdsserver/wdspxe/nkpprov] not find configuration thumbprint. certificate thumbprint = <our certificate>".

troubleshooting:

  • we have confirmed certificate has been deployed via group policy , shows protector in manage-bde.
  • group policy settings network unlock enabled , linked correct ou.
  • the wds server role running.
  • the dhcp server separate wds server.
  • the client's bios configured uefi boot csm disabled , network stack enabled.
  • here's .inf file used generate self-signed cert looks like:
[newrequest]  subject="cn=bitlocker network unlock certificate" exportable=true requesttype=cert keyusage="cert_key_encipherment_key_usage" keylength=2048 keyusage=0x30 keyspec=1 validityperiod=years validityperiodunits=10  [extensions] bitlocker drive encyption = "{text}" _continue_ = "oid=1.3.6.1.4.1.311.67.1.1"  bitlocker drive encryption = "{text}" _continue_ = "1.3.6.1.4.1.311.67.1.1"
thoughts on might missing? need more info?

hello all! network unlock works now. discovered needed reboot server after installing certificate. in microsoft's instructions mention requirement.
