[Martony78]

Where can we find removable drives recovery information in ADDS when the "Store BitLocker recovery information in Active Directory Domain Services" GPO setting is enabled? Within the computer object from where the drive was encrypted?

@Martony78 You are correct, it's stored within the computer object, and you can use the BitLocker Recovery Password Viewer to view this info.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/information-protection/bitlocker/bitlocker-use-bitlocker-recovery-password-viewer

"Using this tool, you can examine a computer object's Properties dialog box to view the corresponding BitLocker recovery passwords. "
