Centralizing BitLocker Administration

What is MBAM? MBAM is a compliance and monitoring tool Stores BitLocker recovery keys in two locations One key stored in Active Directory One key stored in MBAM Recovery Database Allows users to recover BitLocker key from self-service portal

How does MBAM work? System will need MBAM Client installed MBAM Client will be added to the current Windows image Currently no planned forced push of MBAM System will require the SCCM Client installed Uses new feature called baseline configuration Uses hardware inventory scan to determine encryption status System will need Group Policy that controls settings of MBAM
