DaRT with Bitlocker

$

Hi all

I'm currently implementing a Win8 with Bitlocker and DaRT task sequence under CM12 with MDT integrated.

During the build, I'm doing the following steps;
- Configure disk with Bitlocker and OS partitions
- Copy WinRE.wim to \Recovery\WindowsRE folder on the Bitlocker partition
- Reagentc /disable
- Reagentc /setreimage /path <bitlockerpart>\Recovery\WindowsRE /target c:\windows
- Reagentc /enable
- Hide bitlocker partition
.....
- Encrypt OS Partition

This works and I am able to get into the DaRT image.  However, the machine prompts me for the Bitlocker recovery key twice, even though the MS documentation implies that this shouldn't happen.http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=35494 -"Creating a separate partition will also eliminate the need to provide the BitLocker recovery key twice when using DaRT and separate the recovery image from the boot partition that could be the source of instability."

I have noticed though that if you press "Esc for more recovery options" I get "Preparing Bitlocker Recovery" and then DaRT is initiated.  Obviously I can't view the encrypted disk because I haven't entered a recovery key.

Is this expected behaviour or have I missed something? I was hoping that it wouldn't prompt at all. 

I've also tried deploying the image to a completely separate partition and that gives the same issue.

Thanks in advance
Simon
