## Implementation

To support endpoint reinstallation from the CapaInstaller Console, the [Reinstall_Custom_WinPE.cis](https://download.capainstaller.com/products/CapaFactory/CapaBitLocker/Reinstall_Custom_WinPE.cis) file must be copied to the following folder:

`\\<Server>\<CMP>\Resources\Reinstall\v4.1\Scripts\`

If the `Reinstall_Custom_WinPE.cis` file is already used for other purposes, the contents of the [Reinstall_Custom_WinPE.cis](https://download.capainstaller.com/products/CapaFactory/CapaBitLocker/Reinstall_Custom_WinPE.cis) file must be integrated into the existing file.

## Disable decryption of data drives during reinstall

Data drive decryption can be disabled during reinstall, by setting the DWORD value below to 1:

`HKLM\SOFTWARE\CapaSystems\CapaServices\CapaBitLocker\<SkipDataDriveDecryptionDuringReinstall>`
