How to configure the MBAM 2.5 System Center Configuration Manager integration

This article explains how to configure Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) to use the System Center Configuration Manager integration topology, which integrates MBAM with Configuration Manager.

The instructions explain how to configure Configuration Manager integration by using:

  • A Windows PowerShell cmdlet.

  • The MBAM Server Configuration wizard.

The instructions are based on the recommended architecture in High-level architecture for MBAM 2.5.

Before you start the configuration

To configure Configuration Manager integration by using Windows PowerShell

  1. Before you start the configuration, see Configuring MBAM 2.5 server features by using Windows PowerShell to review the prerequisites for using Windows PowerShell.

  2. Use the Enable-MbamCMIntegration Windows PowerShell cmdlet to configure the Reports. To get information about this cmdlet, type Get-Help Enable-MbamCMIntegration.

To configure the System Center Configuration Manager integration by using the wizard

  1. On the server where you want to configure the System Center Configuration Manager Integration feature, start the MBAM Server Configuration wizard. You can select MBAM Server Configuration from the Start menu to open the wizard.

  2. Select Add New Features, select System Center Configuration Manager Integration, and then select Next.

    The wizard checks that the server meets all prerequisites for the Configuration Manager integration.

  3. If the prerequisite check is successful, select Next to continue. Otherwise, resolve any missing prerequisites, and then select Check prerequisites again.

  4. Use the following descriptions to enter the field values in the wizard:

    Field Description
    SQL Server Reporting Services server Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server with the Reporting Service point role. This is the server to which the MBAM Configuration Manager Reports are deployed. If you don't specify a server, the Configuration Manager reports are deployed to the local server.
    SQL Server Reporting Services instance Name of the SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) instance where the Configuration Manager Reports are deployed. If you don't specify an instance, the Configuration Manager reports are deployed to the default SSRS instance name. The value you enter is ignored if the server has System Center 2012 Configuration Manager installed.
  5. On the Summary page, review the features that will be added.

    Note

    To create a Windows PowerShell script of the entries you just made, select Export PowerShell Script, and save the script.

  6. Select Add to add the Configuration Manager Integration feature to the server, and then select Close.
