Before you start wit Bitlocker to Go your domain controllers must be 2008 R2. You must upgrade your Schema.
After done that I made a group policy named Bitlocker to Go.
You can find the Bitlocker Policy under: Computer Configuration | Policies | Administrative Templates: Policy Definitions | Windows Components | BitLocker Drive Encryption | Removable Data Drives.
I enabled the following policies:
Choose How BitLocker Removable Drives Can Be Recovered
At first you must select the Allow Data Recovery Agent option. This option should be selected by default, but since this option is what makes the entire key recovery process possible, it is important to verify that the option is enabled.
Next, you will enable the Omit Recovery Option From The BitLocker Setup Wizard option. This prevents users from saving or printing their own copies of the recovery key.
Next, you will have to select the Save BitLocker Recovery Information to AD DS for Removable Data Drives. This is the option that actually saves the BitLocker recovery keys to the Active Directory.
Finally, you should select the Do Not Enable BitLocker Until Recovery Information Is Stored To AD DS For Removable Data Drives option. This option forces Windows to confirm that the recovery has been written to the Active Directory before BitLocker is allowed to encrypt the drive. That way, you do not have to worry about a power failure wiping out the recovery key half way through the encryption process.
Windows XP SP2 & SP3 can only read the bitlocker usb stick.

Light-emitting diode (LED) light needs to be monitored for blinking.
|
The hard drive LED should maintain a blinking state. Any other state (light always on) indicates thrashing. It is important to maintain adequate disk input/output and utilize memory swapping to prevent thrashing. |
|
FPE (or FSE) databases should be monitored and routinely maintained.
|
Clean/purge database to reduce size.
Enable retention policies.
Note: If you are expecting the incident database to grow soon, it is a good idea to allocate more free space for the database.

I want to creat a new mailbox for a new user. But i get the following error: The exchange server address list service failed to respond.
Solution:
Go to Organization Configuration in EMC. Right click it in EMC and select Modify Configuration Domain Controller. Point it to your DC hosting the PDC
After that restart the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant services on the mailbox server.
The Microsoft Exchange System Attendant Service does the following thing:
Forwards directory lookups to a global catalog server for legacy Outlook clients, generates e-mail addresses and offline address books, updates free/busy information for legacy clients, and maintains permissions and group memberships for the server. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.
