Hello there,
To enable BitLocker using Group Policy Object (GPO), you can follow these steps:
Create a Group Policy Object:
Open the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) on a domain controller or a computer with the necessary administrative rights.
Create a new Group Policy Object (GPO) or select an existing one to which you want to apply the BitLocker settings.
Navigate to the BitLocker Policy:
In the GPMC, select the desired GPO in the left pane.
In the right pane, click on the "Edit..." option to open the Group Policy Management Editor.
Configure BitLocker Settings:
Within the Group Policy Management Editor, navigate to:
"Computer Configuration" > "Administrative Templates" > "Windows Components" > "BitLocker Drive Encryption."
Enable BitLocker and Configure Settings:
Look for the setting called "Choose how BitLocker-protected operating system drives can be recovered."
Double-click on the setting to edit it.
Select "Enabled."
Choose the desired recovery options. For example, you can select "Save BitLocker recovery information to Active Directory Domain Services" and "Do not enable BitLocker until recovery information is stored in AD DS for operating system drives."
Click "OK" to save the changes.
Link GPO and Apply:
Close the Group Policy Management Editor.
Link the GPO to the Organizational Unit (OU) containing the computers that need to have BitLocker enabled.
You can use the "Link an Existing GPO" option or "Drag and Drop" the GPO to the OU.
The GPO will be applied to the computers in that OU during the next Group Policy update.
