1910 - BitLocker / MBAM Task sequence

[Mr.Anderson]

Hi All -

We just completed setting up BitLocker management with 1910.  We’re able to push the policy to the clients and install and the self service portal is all working.  We aren’t currently using BitLocker so this a totally new deployment. 
 

My question is we are about to start a large roll out of new systems and I’m looking for documentation on how to set this up in our task sequence so that BitLocker is installed and turned on after imaging without end user interaction.   I’ve done this at my previous job but we were not doing MBAM just storing keys in AD so this all new to me.  I’ve poured through all of the tremendous information here but still seem to be missing this piece and need to start getting new systems into the wild. 
 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! 
 

Thanks!

Chris

just to be clear, are you saying you want to have your OSD task sequences take care of Bitlocker Encryption and storage of the key in ConfigMgr 1910 with the bitlocker management feature enabled ?

Yes correct.  We have ConfigMgr 1910 working and I'm able to deploy to exisiting clients which then requires them to install.  My question is how do you deploy this with bare metal /or inplace upgrade in a task sequence so MDOP/MBAM is already installed and the device is encrypted with ConfigMngr managing keys.

 

Thanks

you could follow this guide and it should populate your keys in configmgr's database

Great thanks.  I guess I'm looking for what the TS steps would be as well.

Did you ever figure this out?  I'm really struggling with getting the keys passed back into the DB from the task sequence.  AD is fine, just the DB is empty.

Thanks
