Hey Ben Curran,
you have to assign your BitLocker Policy to a devices AAD group and ESP must be turned on otherwise you are too late and BitLocker Automatic encryption during AADJ will kick in to encrypt your device with default settings like 128-bit used space etc.

Hi,
I am re-surfacing this issue as i have the same problem again. I have a Bitlocker policy, using the Endpoint security Disk encryption settings. My problem is the same as before, where I can set the policy to encrypt to 256 XTS, no PIN can be set as the system doesn't see the keyboard of the Suface Pro. I have exhausted all options, the only way I can get it to work is to set the encryption, then manually trigger the PIN settings from the Bilocker portal in Control Panel, once the GPO has been manually changed on the local machine.
My question is, what is the process for enabling PIN protected Bitlocker on machines that do not have a fixed keyboard?
Regards
Ben
