I want to encrypt the Windows Server 2008 R2 system partition using BitLocker, but I can't find the 'BitLocker Drive Encryption' option in Windows Control Panel. Then I connect a bitlockr device that is encrypted by another computer to the Windows Server 2008 R2 computer, and the result is that the device cannot be accessed. How do I use the Bitlcoker device on Windows Server 2008 R2?
