Description

The Write-MbamComputerUser cmdlet writes a set of users to a computer's Trusted Platform Module (TPM) owner authorization and each of the currently known computer's encrypted volumes.

Examples

Example 1: Give a user permission to recover TPM and Bitlocker information for a specified computer

PS C:\>Write-MbamComputerUser -RecoveryServiceEndPoint http://MBAMServer.contoso.com:8080 -Computer User12-PC.Contoso.com -user @("User12@Contoso.com")

This command gives User12@Contoso.com permission to recover TPM and Bitlocker information from self-service portal for computer User12-PC.Contoso.com and its volumes.

Example 2: Give a user permission to recover TPM and Bitlocker information for a specified computer and suppress user confirmation

PS C:\>Write-MbamComputerUser -RecoveryServiceEndPoint http://MBAMServer.contoso.com:8080 -Computer User12-PC.Contoso.com -user @("User12@Contoso.com") -Force

This command gives User12@Contoso.com permission to recover TPM and Bitlocker information from self-service portal for computer User12-PC.Contoso.com and its volumes.

This command additionally suppresses user confirmation.

Example 3: Give multiple users permission to recover TPM and Bitlocker information for a specified computer and attempt recovery if the cmdlet fails

PS C:\>Write-MbamComputerUser -svc http://MBAMServer.contoso.com:8080 -Computer User12-PC.Contoso.com -ComputerUser @("User12@Contoso.com", "User13@Contoso.net") -RetryCount 2 -RetryIntervalSeconds 10 -Force

This command gives User12@Contoso.com and User13@Contoso.com permission to recover TPM and Bitlocker information from self-service portal for computer User12-PC.Contoso.com and its volumes.

The command also attempts recovery two more times with a ten second wait time between attempts. This command additionally suppresses user confirmation.

Example 4: Give a user permission to recover TPM and Bitlocker information for a specified computer and attempt recovery if the cmdlet fails

PS C:\>Write-MbamComputerUser -service http://MBAMServer.contoso.com:8080 -Computer User13-Desktop.Domain.Net -user @("User12@Contoso.com") -rc 2 -ri 10

This command gives User12@Contoso.com permission to recover TPM and Bitlocker information from self-service portal for the computer User13-Desktop.Domain.Net and its volumes.

This command attempts recovery two more times with a ten second wait time between attempts.

Example 5: Give a user permission to recover TPM and Bitlocker information for a specified machine and attempt recovery if the cmdlet fails

PS C:\>Write-MbamComputerUser -service http://MBAMServer.contoso.com:8080 -Computer User13-Desktop.Domain.Net -user @("User12@Contoso.com") -rc 2 -ri 10 -Confirm

This command gives User12@Contoso.com permission to recover TPM and Bitlocker information from the self-service portal for the machine User13-Desktop.Domain.Net and its volumes.

This command also attempts recovery two more times with a ten second wait time between attempts.
