OSD - ZTI TPM Owner Password
Hi Everyone
Sorry to bother you all but I wondered if anyone could help with a problem we are experiencing.
We are currently using SCCM 2007 R2 with an MDT 2010 U1 back end database to deploy zero touch Windows 7 x86 images. We are trying to set a TPM Owner Password accross our estate, when deploying an SCCM Zero Touch Task Sequence which enables bitlocker.
The documentation seemed to suggest this was possible by stipulating a password in the TPMOwnerPassword field of the MDT DB but there seems to be some debate if this is at all possible? We have set a password in the DB and AD shows an entry in msTPMOwnerInformation
for that computer object, however if I attempt to clear the TPM Owner is TPM.msc the password i enter(the one I stipulated in the DB)is deemed incorrect? We have also tried leaving it blank as this should set it to local administrator password but again
this doesn't seem to work?
Scenario 1 in the following article seemed to suggest a random TPM Owner password is generated by SCCM?

I just wondered if anyone had experience of this and could possibly provide any insight and let us know if what we are doing is possible?
Many thanks for your time
