How to Get Bitlocker Key and Sync it to AD

Use this only to get the Bitlocker key after disabling encryption/re-enabling and doing TPM

 

**You can run this on N-Central and start a CMD session** 

  • Just make sure that the user is in a branch office or on VPN

 

  1. Run CMD in N-Central

  • Click on Device Name > Tools > Command Prompt > Start Session

 

  1. Type in manage-bde -protectors -get c:

  • This should give you some long string code
  • You're looking for the Numerical Password ID
  • Ex: {DAB438E6-8B5F-4BDA-9273-C1654B49C717E}

 

  1. After you get that ID, input the next command below to sync the password to AD 

  • Manage-bde -protectors c: -adbackup -id '{DAB438E6-8B5F-4BDA-9273-C1654B49C717E}'

 

  • If that doesn't work then use:
        Manage-bde -protectors -adbackup c: -id {DAB438E6-8B5F-4BDA-9273-C1654B49C717E} 

NOTE: IF USING POWERSHELL SEE BELOW 

  • If using PowerShell, encapsulate the ID with a single quotation, see example below 

  • '{DAB438E6-8B5F-4BDA-9273-C1654B49C717E}'
