Hi, I want to use bitlocker on Win7 in our enterprise but I want to know is there any centralised location/portal where all the keys are stored & from where we can retrive the key values so that if the user forgets the password we can use the key value to login & get his/her data ?

Are you thinking of the recovery passwords? There's a good article you can use to get started: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732774.aspx Typically you'll want to use Active Directory to store recovery passwords, unless you're looking to use a third-party management tool for BitLocker. Hope that helps.

Hi Geoff, Thanks for replying, I knew about storing the password in AD but I was really looking for some portal where we can find the recovery key same as PGP uses. I have also heard that Microsoft was planing to launch a portal in this way. Do you have any idea about this ? Thanks abc_19

Hi, As far as I know, the way to back up BitLocker recovery is: Backing Up BitLocker and TPM Recovery Information to AD DS Alex ZhaoPlease remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
