How to Edit MBAM 1.0 GPO Settings

  • Artikel

To successfully deploy Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM), you must first determine the Group Policies that you will use in your implementation of Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring. For more information about the various available policies, see Planning for MBAM 1.0 Group Policy Requirements. After you have determined the policies that you are going to use, you then must modify one or more Group Policy Objects (GPO) that include the MBAM policy settings.

The following steps describe how to configure the basic, recommended Group Policy object (GPO) settings to enable MBAM to manage BitLocker encryption for your organization’s client computers.

To edit the MBAM Client GPO settings

  1. On a computer that has MBAM Group Policy template installed, make sure that MBAM services are enabled.

  2. Use the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC.msc) or the Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM) MDOP product for these actions: Select Computer configuration, choose Policies, click Administrative Templates, select Windows Components, and then click MDOP MBAM (BitLocker Management).

  3. Edit the Group Policy Object settings that are required to enable MBAM Client services on client computers. For each policy in the table that follows, select Policy Group, click the Policy, and then configure the Setting.
