"BitLocker Recovery" tab disappeared from Server 2019 ADUC

We've got a pair of 2019 DCs. Until this week, we were able to see BitLocker recovery keys for our assets in ADUC.

That tab is just gone now. It's not a GPO issue. Our Group Policy doesn't even allow endpoints to encrypt until after the recovery key has been saved to AD.

I've tried removing and re-adding the BitLocker feature with no change. I'm logging into the DC as a domain admin, and even running ADUC as admin for good measure.

Did Microsoft patch in some new requirement to be able to view this?

    Hello,

    The BitLocker features of ADUC are now dependent on a separate RSAT feature.

    RSAT: BitLocker Drive Encryption Administration Utilities

    Add BitLocker features to ADUC:

    • Go to "Apps & features"
    • Go to "Manage optional features"
    • Go to "Add a feature"
    • Go to "RSAT: BitLocker Drive Encryption Administration Utilities"
    • Click "Install".

    Hope this helps.

    Best Regards,

    Hania Lian
