This document provides an overview of managing Bitlocker encryption with Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP). It discusses using Bitlocker encryption to encrypt drives on devices and the benefits of using disk encryption. It then compares managing Bitlocker without using Microsoft Bitlocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) versus using MBAM. Managing Bitlocker without MBAM involves manual scripts and management with no reporting capabilities, while MBAM simplifies deployment, provides reporting on compliance and auditing, and reduces support costs through improved key recovery.
