Bitlocker Error 0x80005000
A problem occurred during BitLocker setup. You may need to restart BitLocker setup to continue. Error code 0x80005000.
This is the error you get when trying to enable BitLocker to a drive on a machine joined to the domain that is sitting in an OU that contains a “/” (forward slash) in its name.
