You may have already seen Part 2 of this series where you can automate BitLocker encryption in Intune using supplied MSI's, which contain logging, reboot prompt and other features. I've put together this video to show you how you can test the PowerShell scripts contained within the two MSI's here. This allows you to test the scripts outside of Intune, and when you are happy with the results you can re-package them and deploy the MSI via Intune. The video shows you how to use Psexec to start a process (in this example it's CMD.EXE) as SYSTEM. psexec.exe /s /i cmd.exe After starting the cmd prompt as SYSTEM, you can launch powershell. Next, browse to the folder where the scripts are, by default it's C:\Program Files (x86)\BitLockerTrigger and launch Enable_BitLocker.ps1. After the TriggerBitlocker msi is installed by Intune on a Windows AutoPilot enrolled device, the PowerShell script will run via the Scheduled Task as SYSTEM, so this method of testing is a valid way to verify any changes you add to the PowerShell script before repackaging it as an MSI. To see the video click below, have a look and happy troubleshooting. cheers niall
