Once the MBAM client is installed and configured, it should report to the MBAM server with its recovery key information. If the machine has been using MBAM for an extended time, eventually the recovery key in AD will be incorrect. What is the exact scenario that you're viewing? New deployment and a dead client or remote client that hasn't been on the network to have the MBAM client installed?

Is there a supported method to incorporate existing BitLocker recovery key information from computer accounts in Active Directory to the MBAM database? Answer: No, there is no way to sync bitlocker recovery keys from AD to SQL DB. Once you install MBAM agent on win7 client machines which are already bitlockered, then MBAM agent will push the recovery key to SQL directly once you hit the next client wakeup frequency.

Thanks, Manoj. I was able to verify that the BitLocker recovery key was backed up to the database after installing the client. MCITP Windows 7 MCTS Windows Server 2008
