How to fix BitLocker Recovery Key failed to save in Active Directory (AD) via PowerShell Automation

[@NetITGeeks]

This is a very brief how to video demonstrating that you can automate the process of sending BitLocker Recovery keys to AD. Please watch my detailed previous demos on how to setup your AD and server for accepting keys. Also note the script shown here has some additional code that generate pop-up messages to the users and save error data to a text file.

Good. But how can I force it to run with privileges? I saw your other video but ping doesn't need admin permissions.

Thank you for your detailed video. How can you push the GPO for remote users that are not connected to VPN/Corp Network and the same thing with the logon script? And how can you save the pre-configured/saved Bitlockers Recovery Keys of the users to AD or Azure AD.

You are welcome. Without the VPN connection to the company network, the client machine will not be able to see the server with the AD. You will first need to have the VPN connection in order for this method to work (Unless your orgs devices are Azure connected). Yes, you can save the BitLocker recovery keys using the same script on client machines that have already enabled BitLocker. The script will simply find the recovery key contained within the unit and push it to the AD server. Azure AD is a SaaS. Hence it allow you to overcome the need to have the VPN connection for any of this to work. You can use the same script to work with Azure with very slight modifications.

@@NetITGeeks we do have Azure and I can see the devices recovery passwords/keys after I save them manually from the PCs on hand, but I am looking for a way to save other users that are remote and already have bitlocker enabled and not they are connected to VPN but they are Azure Connected devices/hosts.
