Failed to run the action: Enable BitLocker. Unspecified Error: (80004005)

Issue:-
When you run a Configuration Manager 2007 OSD Task Sequence that has the "Enable BitLocker" task in it, the task fails to run and BitLocker is not enabled on the PC. Looking the SMSTS.log reveals the below error message:
