In this article, we shall discuss how to Check if MBAM Agent is installed on Windows PC. The Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) Client software enables administrators to enforce and monitor BitLocker Drive Encryption on computers in the enterprise. See the following guide on how to enable FileVault disk encryption on a Mac device and BitLocker Drive Encryption architecture and implementation scenarios. Here is a guide onSSD TRIM: Delete files permanently without using the Recycle Bin.

The BitLocker client can be integrated into an organization by deploying the client through an electronic software distribution system, such as Active Directory Domain Services, or by directly encrypting the client computers as part of the initial imaging process.

Determine whether the MBAM agent is installed on the client’s computer. When MBAM is installed, it creates a service that is named BitLocker Management Client Service. This service is configured to start automatically. Determine whether the service is running.

Lastly, make sure that MBAM Group Policy settings are applied on the client’s computer. The following registry subkey is created if the Group Policy settings were applied on the client’s computer.
