Swapping bitlocker system drive to another laptop
I've read all the bitlocker information and posts but think I've missed something. I have a Dell Latitude E6420 laptop, in the domain, bitlockered. The laptop case has problems so I want to take the HDD out and put it in another E6420 so the user has no down time while her laptop is repaired. Both laptops have hard drives and are bitlockered. First I suspended bitlocker on both laptops. I then swapped the drives. It comes up to repair. I run repair but it cannot repair and shuts down. I put the hard drives back in the original laptops, booted up, turned OFF bitlocker and waited for decryption. When finished, I again swapped the drives. Same issue. What am I doing wrong?
