Description

The Enable-MbamWebApplication cmdlet enables a Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) web application on the local server. The cmdlet enables one of the following web applications:

  • Administration and Monitoring Website
  • Agent Services
  • Self-Service Portal

Examples

Example 1: Enable Administration and Monitoring Website

PS C:\> Enable-MbamWebApplication -AdministrationPortal -ComplianceAndAuditDBConnectionString "Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=ContosoDatabaseServer;Initial Catalog=MBAM Compliance Status" -RecoveryDBConnectionString "Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=ContosoDatabaseServer;Initial Catalog=MBAM Recovery and Hardware" -AdvancedHelpdeskAccessGroup "Contoso\AdvancedUserGroup" -HelpdeskAccessGroup "Contoso\StandardUserGroup" -ReportsReadOnlyAccessGroup "Contoso\ReportUserGroup" -ReportUrl "https://ContosoReportsServer/ReportServer" -Port 443 -WebServiceApplicationPoolCredential (Get-Credential) -Certificate (dir cert:\LocalComputer\My\E2A7EA5533890D6567E40DFC46F53B3D31D6B689)

This command enables the Administration and Monitoring Website web application on the current server. The portal uses the Compliance and Audit Database and the Recovery Database on ContosoDatabaseServer, and it uses the reports on ContosoReportsServer.

Example 2: Enable Self-Service Portal

PS C:\> Enable-MbamWebApplication -SelfServicePortal -ComplianceAndAuditDBConnectionString "Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=ContosoDatabaseServer;Initial Catalog=MBAM Compliance Status" -RecoveryDBConnectionString "Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=ContosoDatabaseServer;Initial Catalog=MBAM Recovery and Hardware" -Port 443 -WebServiceApplicationPoolCredential (Get-Credential) -Certificate (dir cert:\LocalComputer\My\E2A7EA5533890D6567E40DFC46F53B3D31D6B689)

This command enables the Self-Service Portal web application on the current server. The Self-Service Portal uses the Compliance and Audit Database and the Recovery Database on ContosoDatabaseServer.

Example 3: Enable Agent Services

PS C:\> Enable-MbamWebApplication -AgentService -ComplianceAndAuditDBConnectionString "Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=ContosoDatabaseServer;Initial Catalog=MBAM Compliance Status" -RecoveryDBConnectionString "Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=ContosoDatabaseServer;Initial Catalog=MBAM Recovery and Hardware" -Port 443 -WebServiceApplicationPoolCredential (Get-Credential) -Certificate (dir cert:\LocalComputer\My\E2A7EA5533890D6567E40DFC46F53B3D31D6B689)

This command enables the Agent Services feature on the current server. The services use the Compliance and Audit Database and the Recovery Database on ContosoDatabaseServer.

Example 4: Enable Administration and Monitoring Website for a mirrored environment

PS C:\> Enable-MbamWebApplication -AdministrationPortal -ComplianceAndAuditDBConnectionString "Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=ContosoDatabaseServer;Failover Partner=ContosoMirror;Initial Catalog=MBAM Compliance Status" -RecoveryDBConnectionString "Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=ContosoDatabaseServer;Failover Partner=ContosoMirror;Initial Catalog=MBAM Recovery and Hardware" -AdvancedHelpdeskAccessGroup "Contoso\AdvancedUserGroup" -HelpdeskAccessGroup "Contoso\StandardUserGroup" -ReportsReadOnlyAccessGroup "Contoso\ReportUserGroup" -ReportUrl "https://ContosoReportsServer/ReportServer" -Port 443 -WebServiceApplicationPoolCredential (Get-Credential) -Certificate (dir cert:\LocalComputer\My\E2A7EA5533890D6567E40DFC46F53B3D31D6B689)

This command enables the Administration and Monitoring Website web application, and it configures web applications to use a mirrored Microsoft SQL Server environment. The connection strings specify a failover partner.

Example 5: Enable the Self-Service Portal for a mirrored environment

PS C:\> Enable-MbamWebApplication -SelfServicePortal -ComplianceAndAuditDBConnectionString "Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=ContosoDatabaseServer;Failover Partner=ContosoMirror;Initial Catalog=MBAM Compliance Status" -RecoveryDBConnectionString "Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=ContosoDatabaseServer;Failover Partner=ContosoMirror;Initial Catalog=MBAM Recovery and Hardware" -Port 443 -WebServiceApplicationPoolCredential (Get-Credential) -Certificate (dir cert:\LocalComputer\My\E2A7EA5533890D6567E40DFC46F53B3D31D6B689)

This command enables the Self-Service Portal on the current server, and it configures web applications to use a mirrored SQL Server environment. The connection strings specify a failover partner.
