On the client side pre-requisites, it states that the client computer's hard 
disk must have at least two partitions and must be formatted with NTFS.

Do the partitions need to be normal, C: drive and D: drive, or are they talking 
about the hidden recovery partition type of thing that normally comes these 
days?

Subject: [NTSysADM] RE: Bitlocker/MBAM

We currently use MDOP/MBAM integrated with configmgr and we use Active 
Directory for key storage and it works great. We primarily use MBAM for 
encryption enforcement and compliance. I have the self-service and help desk 
recovery portal setup but I have never really had a use for it in our 
environment. The biggest catch is that MBAM is only compatible with Windows 
Enterprise Editions (link below).

A couple other things I ran into are (though it is entirely possible I was 
doing something wrong);

1) That it would not recognize more than one AD group for the "MBAM Advanced 
Helpdesk Users", "MBAM Helpdesk Users" or "MBAM Report Users" groups.

2) Changing the group members of those 3 groups in the local users and groups 
console had no effect. In order to change the groups (if I needed to) I had to 
go into IIS Navigate down to Sites>MBAM>HelpDesk>Application Settings and 
manually edit the values the fields for "HelpdeskAdminsGroupName" (MBAM 
Advanced Helpdesk Users), "HelpdeskUsersGroupName" (MBAM Helpdesk Users), and 
MbamReportUsersGroupName" (MBAM Report Users).

Subject: [NTSysADM] Bitlocker/MBAM

We're looking to implement Bitlocker when we migrate to Windows 10.  I'm 
starting research of MBAM, and how to best implement.  Does anyone have real 
world experience/advice on whether to integrate with Config Mgr, or go with the 
standalone topology?  For those that are using MBAM, are you saving the 
recovery data in SQL, or Active Directory?  Any major gotchas to look out for?
