Hello everyone,
I'm starting to get a problem with some brand new computer I received from HP. When I image those computer using SCCM task sequence, everything goes well until it get into the OS. Once it receive GPO, it restart and we get bitlocker trigger.
We found on the HP website that it's because of the Secure Boot Certificat. It's as if the computer take the wrong certificat:

We are using official W11 enterprise wim (untouched) when imaging and all boot image are signed using the 2023 certificate in SCCM (checkbox is enabled and image are updated).
I've used Garlin's Powershell Script to verify all my wim and they all have 2023 certs

I began to make some test. When I image the computer, if the 2011 certficate isn't enabled in the BIOS, it get enabled (probably by SCCM). Once it get into Windows, the status for the certificate is that it's not updated (even if it's present) and then the GPO to update it get triggered, the secure boot certificate change and it trigger bitlocker. And that's even when all 2023 certificate are already enabled.

If I disable the GPO, the problem go away. But my isssue is why is it using the old 2011 certificate in the first place?
I'm on SCCM 2603 latest KB with ADK 2454.
Thank you
Edit: Adding info cause the question get repeated many time. First, I was able to reproduce the problem on other computer.
While in WinPE, before starting the TS.

This show the secureboot already contain the 2023 UEFI certificate.
BIOS SecureBoot:

As we can see, the 2023 is the only checked before running TS
Using Garlin's Powershell to detect computer and boot media certificate (https://www.elevenforum.com/t/garlins-powershell-scripts-for-updating-secure-boot-ca-2023.43423/)
install.wim used

While in WinPE through PXE

So at this point, it shows that the BIOS on that computer does have the UEFI 2023 cert and that both the boot image and the install.wim contain the 2023 certs. The BIOS as showed in first picture is configured to boot only with 2023 cert.
After the Task Sequence Start. We update the bios (if update is available, already latest version here), then we wipe the disk and then partition like this for HP

Dell is the same without the hp partition
After it's partition, we install the official september 2026 Win 11 25H2 wim, then configure windows and network step, inject driver using DAT and then step "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr" which reboot the computer.
At that time, when the computer reboot, with the BIOS configured as previously mentionned, the PC will have 2 BIOS Reboot. So, TS => Reboot => Bios Screen => Reboot => Bios Screen => Reboot => Bios Screen.
If I enter the BIOS right now, this is how Secure Boot is configured:

As you can see, the 2011 Certificat is now enabled.
Let's continue the TS and run the script during the TS, after the sysprep during the OS Phase

We see Windows Boot Manager is using 2011 now. WHY? Install.wim is with 2023, bios is 2023 ready so what give?
Bear in mind, I reproduce this on any HP computer that have already working OS by configuring the BIOS to not use the 2011 during the TS.
