Description

The Enable-MbamReport cmdlet enables the Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) Reports feature on a local Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services instance.

Examples

Example 1: Enable the Reports feature

PS C:\> Enable-MbamReport -ComplianceAndAuditDBConnectionString "Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=ContosoDatabaseServer;Initial Catalog=MBAM Compliance Status" -ComplianceAndAuditDBCredential (Get-Credential) -ReportsReadOnlyAccessGroup "Contoso\ReportsGroup"

This command enables the Reports feature on the local server. The feature uses the Compliance and Audit Database on ContosoDatabaseServer. The command prompts you to enter credentials to access the Compliance and Audit Database. The reports group is Contoso\ReportsGroup. The command installs reports on the default SQL Server Reporting Services instance.

Parameters

-ComplianceAndAuditDBConnectionString

Specifies a connection string. The local SQL Server Reporting Services uses the string that this parameter specifies to connect to the Compliance and Audit Database feature. The connection string must contain values for the Integrated Security and Initial Catalog fields.

-ComplianceAndAuditDBCredential

Specifies the domain account credentials that the local SQL Server Reporting Services instance uses to connect to the Compliance and Audit Database. The domain user in the credentials must be the same as the user that you specify for the ReportAccount parameter in the Enable-MbamDatabase cmdlet. If you specified a domain user group for the ReportAccount parameter, the credentials that you specify for the current parameter must be a member of that group.

Important: For improved security, use an account that has limited privileges. Also, configure the account so that the password never expires.
