In the error you can see the commands that are being executed. You should attempt to recreate the issue by executing the first half of the commands and then validate what the returned variables are.
This is all done in powershell so open the PS ISE as administrator and enter the following
Code: Select all
$BLV = get-BitLockervolume -mountpoint c:
Now print out the needed variable for command #2
Code: Select all
write-host $BLV.keyprotector[0].keyprotectorid
This is what it should look like and what it should return if a Key protector is there

The value returned for me is {88E8A649-A86E-49DE-A9A0-33CDDFA1249A}
The final command then should look like this
Code: Select all
Remove-BitlockerKeyProtector -mountpoint c: -keyprotectorid {88E8A649-A86E-49DE-A9A0-33CDDFA1249A}
Keep in mind that this ID was from my protector and not yours so you will have a different ID from what I show above.
By running through the 2 commands you should find the issue that is causing the failure. It is pretty basic so if you want to drop the protector just rerun the 2 commands over again. Send us any outputs you receive from the above commands so we can see what your environment is trying to do.
