Hi all.
You must back up your BitLocker recovery key. But you can do this in your business AD. That is post, you can activate and store BitLocker recovery codes in Active Directory (AD) for easy retrieval.
However question - how can you query AD for BitLocker Details? In this post I will show you what you need to do to query AD for BitLocker details. First this post assume that you have administrator rights to access the BitLocker Recover Password details.
How to query AD for Bitlocker details via ADUC
As I said, I know that BitLocker keys would be stored in the computer object within AD. But where? Using the MEMDP2 as my example. I open Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC). I located MEMDP2 and looked at its properties, at first glance, there is nothing to indicated that this computer has a BitLocker Password. And no Password Replication will not store BitLocker details but Attribute Editor might. Lets’ start there.
I know from my other research that the are several Attribute that the data is stored within and they are called:
ms-FVE-KeyPackage
ms-FVE-RecoveryGuid
ms-FVE-RecoveryInformation
ms-FVE-RecoveryPassword
ms-FVE-VolumeGuid
If BitLocker attributes missing form attribute editor you have to install the BitLocker AD module. Since we have all installed a Windows Feature. Just the high lever steps.
I’m preforming these steps on my DC. In the Features windows, select BitLocker Drive Encryption (orange arrow) this will immediately popup Add more feature window, Click Add Feature button. Complete the wizard to finish the install, don’t forget to reboot.
After the reboot I go back into ADUC and select the MEMDP2, we can see the BitLocker Recovery tab.
