The iSchool has BitLocker configured on all Faculty, Staff, and PhD student Windows computers. BitLocker is a Microsoft disk encryption technology. Once BitLocker is turned on, your UW NetID credentials will continue to allow you to sign into the computer; you should see no noticeable change in behavior.
If you are ever prompted for a BitLocker Recovery Key, please contact the iSchool IT Help Desk.
