mrfelpa / bitlockerAut

A PowerShell script designed to automate enabling Bitlocker hardware encryption on compatible fixed drives in a Windows environment.

• This script automates the Bitlocker encryption process, saving time and ensuring consistency across multiple machines.

• It prompts users to set strong passwords for Bitlocker, improving overall data security.

• The script saves recovery keys to a designated network share, simplifying recovery in case of lost passwords.

Prerequisites:

• Windows system with administrative privileges.
• PowerShell installed and configured to run scripts.
• BitLocker module installed (if not found, install using Install-Module BitLocker).
• Accessible network share with appropriate permissions to save recovery keys (replace \server\BitLockerKeys\ with your actual path).

Use

• Clone or download the repository containing the script.
• Open a PowerShell window with administrator privileges (Right-click Windows PowerShell and select "Run as administrator").
• Navigate to the directory containing the script.
• Execute the script.
• When prompted, enter a strong password for Bitlocker encryption.

Reminder

• Ensure the network share path defined in the script is accessible from the machine where you run the script.
• Back up your data before running the script, as enabling Bitlocker encrypts the drives.
• You are free to make additional customization according to your environment and security policies.
