HP Protect Tools Drive Encryption Error: "Failed to activate domain"

I had to install a new build of Windows 7 64 Pro on an EliteBook 8470p and when I go to encrypt the drive I get the following error:

 

An error occured when applying changes to Drive Encryption.

[0xEE01000EE] Failed to activate domain

 

Anyone help?

 

Thanks!

Hi

 

I resolved this on a Elitebook 8560p by changing the Time zone to UTC+12 as daylight savings had kicked in recently.

 

Steps

 

  1. Right click on clock in system tray and click on Adjust date/time
  2. Under Date and Time Tab, click on Change time zone
  3. Uncheck Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time
  4. Click OK
  5. Now run the drive encryption software
  6. After the reboot make sure you check the box you unchecked in Step 3

Hope this resolves it for you and hope the next version of the software addresses this bug.
