Hi all,

i try to configure azure disk encryption with key encryption key as described here:

http://derekmartinorg.azurewebsites.net/easily-encrypt-your-azure-vms-with-keyvault/

and here:

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/cloud_solution_architect/2016/01/04/easily-encrypt-your-azure-vms-with-keyvault/

as described in both articles i always get failed to configure bitlocker as expected. Exception: Invalid provider type specified, meaningless how i created the certificate.

i tried:

• new-selfsignedcertificate
• self signed certificate via IIS
• makecert

Can anyone who get this to work successfully please describe how to exactly create the certificate. I can't find any detailed information from Microsoft.

Thanks.

regards,

ckuever
