Thought I'd share a recent experience. I'm an internal corporate resource in a team of one (i.e. me). We had to get images of a number of Win7 Enterprise machines, some from "close by" and some from another continent. Corporate Policy protects Laptops with BitLocker but not Desktops.
I did the "close by" ones (mix of Laptop and Desktop). Due to time constraints I used WinFE to boot all machines, then got the Bitlocker ID using manage-bde and finally called our internal service desk who supplied the Recovery Password which is stored in MBAM. Then I created Logical images in FTK Imager Lite which is part of my WinFE config by mounting the BitLocker drive in read-only mode…
