Customers not using Microsoft Configuration Manager can utilize the built-in features of Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Intune for administration and monitoring of BitLocker. For more information, see Manage BitLocker policy for Windows devices with Intune.

The BitLocker administration and monitoring website is an administrative interface for BitLocker Drive Encryption. It's also referred to as the help desk portal. Use this website to review reports, recover users' drives, and manage device TPMs.

You can view the Recovery Audit Report in the administration and monitoring website. You add other BitLocker management reports to the reporting services point. For more information, see View BitLocker reports.

To access specific areas of the administration and monitoring website, your user account needs to be in one of the following groups. Create these groups in Active Directory using any name you want. When you install this website, you specify these group names. For more information, see Set up BitLocker reports and portals.

If a user enters the incorrect PIN too many times, they can lockout the TPM. The number of times that a user can enter an incorrect PIN before the TPM locks varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. From the Manage TPM area of the administration and monitoring website, access the centralized key recovery data system.

The administration and monitoring website includes the Recovery Audit Report. Other reports are available from the Configuration Manager reporting services point. For more information, see View BitLocker reports.

Hi all, is anyone using MBAM within their organisation to manage Bitlocker? I've been reading through the illustrated features of deployment here: -us/microsoft-desktop-optimization-pack/mbam-v25/illustrated-features-of-an-mbam-25-deployment , and as the comment at the bottom of the article suggests it's unclear how changes in MBAM 2.5 SP1 have changed how the client / service portal / database communicate. Just wondering if anybody here is using MBAM or can throw any light on how the comms between these components work?

3 Overview of the Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) Server Components Enterprise deployments of BitLocker Drive Encryption (BDE) are typically configured and managed using a combination of Group Policy, scripting, and custom reports. Consequently using BDE in an IT environment can become a complex IT administrative task to manage.. Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) 2.0 is a new solution developed for the configuration and management of BitLocker. MBAM provides tools for managing BitLocker device encryption (BDE), the secure storage of key recovery information, status reporting of BitLocker policy compliance, and IT support tools for recovery key recovery. The following BitLocker Administration and Monitoring features represent the sever infrastructure features for an MBAM server deployment: These features can be installed on a single server or distributed across multiple servers. Recovery and Hardware Database The Recovery and Hardware Database stores the recovery key information and hardware profiles from each computer with the MBAM client agent installed. Compliance Status Database The Compliance Status Database stores the current Bitlocker enforcement status for each MBAM client. Compliance and Audit Reports - The Compliance and Audit Reports provide a robust SQL Reporting Services based dashboard for Computer and User Compliance reports. Administration and Monitoring Server - MBAM installs an Administration and Monitoring web page, a central portal for compliance reporting and Bitlocker administration. Two services are installed by MBAM which must be configured in Group Policy to enable client monitoring and reporting: the MBAMComplianceStatusService and the MBAMRecoveryAndHardwareService. Self Service Key Recovery - Users can request their recovery key without the help desk. Configuration Manager Integration - Enables you to deploy MBAM with reduced infrastructure by enabling MBAM capability added to the existing Configuration Manager infrastructure. In addition to the server related BitLocker Administration and Monitoring features, the server setup application includes a MBAM Group Policy template feature. The MBAM Group Policy template contains a superset of existing BitLocker Group Policies as well as the MBAM specific polices for configuring reporting and enforcement. This feature can be installed on any client able to run the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) or Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM). The MBAM client component can be installed on any Windows 7 (Enterprise, Ultimate) or Windows 8 (Professional, Enterprise) computers with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) v1.2 or v2.0. TPM 1.2 chips must be visible to the operating system and ownership must not have been taken while in the case of Windows 8 computers equipped with TPM v2 complete management is available by the operating system.

Enabling the BitLocker feature in SCCM is independent of your current MBAM setup. you can simply install/enable the bitlocker in SCCM but don't create or deploy any BitLocker policies to your clients (collection).

Note: When you deploy the bitlocker policy to the collection, if the device is already bitlocker by MBAM, SCCM client simply validate the settings, if it matches, the client simply escrows the keys to the SCCM database and this process has no impact to the end-user.

If the client is bitlocker with different settings than what you deploy in SCCM, the client will simply report to SCCM as non-compliant due to a mismatch in the settings. -us/mem/configmgr/protect/deploy-use/bitlocker/deploy-management-agent#re-encryption

Hi Eric,
Bitlocker management policy by default does encrypt used space only. Incase the client is already bitlocker by MBAM using full disk, and if you deploy the SCCM bitlocker policy, it report as compliant and escrow the key to SCCM.
SCCM does not look at used space or full disk encryption when migrating the clients to from MBAM to SCCM. The important criteria is encryption algorithm.

Configmgr has release BitLocker Drive Encryption (BDE) in v1910 for on-premises Windows clients running Windows 10 or Windows 8.1. This feature is optional so, you must enable this feature before using it. Enable co-management and benefit from cloud-based BitLocker management with Microsoft Intune is the best approach. However, there are scenario's where cloud is not an option and require managing on-premises clients. configmgr gives this capability from V1910 and can replace the use of Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM). This post is intended to give you guidance to implement Configmgr Bitlocker management, monitoring and troubleshooting.
