Introduction

Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) is the ability to have a client agent (the MDOP MBAM agent) on your Windows devices (7,8 10) to enforce BitLocker encryption including algorithm type, and to store the recovery keys in your database, securely. It includes reporting, key rotation and more.

This is something that has been around for quite some years now and is working great, however, MBAM is currently it’s own separate solution. The following blog post from Microsoft details their future direction with regard to BitLocker Management and is  a must read.
