Set up BitLocker portals

  • Artikkel

Applies to: Configuration Manager (current branch)

To use the following BitLocker management components in Configuration Manager, you first need to install them:

  • User self-service portal
  • Administration and monitoring website (helpdesk portal)

You can install the portals on an existing site server or site system server with IIS installed, or use a standalone web server to host them.

Note

Starting in version 2006, you can install the BitLocker self-service portal and the administration and monitoring website at the central administration site.

In version 2002 and earlier, only install the self-service portal and the administration and monitoring website with a primary site database. In a hierarchy, install these websites for each primary site.

Before you start, confirm the prerequisites for these components.

Run the script

On the target web server, do the following actions:

Note

Depending upon your site design, you may need to run the script multiple times. For example, run the script on the management point to install the administration and monitoring website. Then run it again on a standalone web server to install the self-service portal.

  1. Copy the following files from SMSSETUP\BIN\X64 in the Configuration Manager installation folder on the site server to a local folder on the target server:

    • MBAMWebSite.cab
    • MBAMWebSiteInstaller.ps1

  2. Run PowerShell as an administrator, and then run the script similar to the following command line:

    .\MBAMWebSiteInstaller.ps1 -SqlServerName <ServerName> -SqlInstanceName <InstanceName> -SqlDatabaseName <DatabaseName> -ReportWebServiceUrl <ReportWebServiceUrl> -HelpdeskUsersGroupName <DomainUserGroup> -HelpdeskAdminsGroupName <DomainUserGroup> -MbamReportUsersGroupName <DomainUserGroup> -SiteInstall Both

    For example,

    .\MBAMWebSiteInstaller.ps1 -SqlServerName sql.contoso.com -SqlInstanceName instance1 -SqlDatabaseName CM_ABC -ReportWebServiceUrl https://rsp.contoso.com/ReportServer -HelpdeskUsersGroupName "contoso\BitLocker help desk users" -HelpdeskAdminsGroupName "contoso\BitLocker help desk admins" -MbamReportUsersGroupName "contoso\BitLocker report users" -SiteInstall Both

    Important

    This example command line uses all of the possible parameters to show their usage. Adjust your use according to your requirements in your environment.

After installation, access the portals via the following URLs:

  • Self-service portal: https://webserver.contoso.com/SelfService
  • Administration and monitoring website: https://webserver.contoso.com/HelpDesk

Note

Microsoft recommends but doesn't require the use of HTTPS. For more information, see How to set up SSL on IIS.

Script usage

This process uses a PowerShell script, MBAMWebSiteInstaller.ps1, to install these components on the web server. It accepts the following parameters:

  • -SqlServerName <ServerName> (required): The fully qualified domain name of the primary site database server.

  • -SqlInstanceName <InstanceName>: The SQL Server instance name for the primary site database. If SQL Server uses the default instance, don't include this parameter.

  • -SqlDatabaseName <DatabaseName> (required): The name of the primary site database, for example CM_ABC.

  • -ReportWebServiceUrl <ReportWebServiceUrl>: The web service URL of the primary site's reporting service point. It's the Web Service URL value in Reporting Services Configuration Manager.

    Note

    This parameter is to install the Recovery Audit Report that's linked from the administration and monitoring website. By default Configuration Manager includes the other BitLocker management reports.

  • -HelpdeskUsersGroupName <DomainUserGroup>: For example, contoso\BitLocker help desk users. A domain user group whose members have access to the Manage TPM and Drive Recovery areas of the administration and monitoring website. When using these options, this role needs to fill in all fields, including the user's domain and account name.

  • -HelpdeskAdminsGroupName <DomainUserGroup>: For example, contoso\BitLocker help desk admins. A domain user group whose members have access to all recovery areas of the administration and monitoring website. When helping users recover their drives, this role only has to enter the recovery key.

  • -MbamReportUsersGroupName <DomainUserGroup>: For example, contoso\BitLocker report users. A domain user group whose members have read-only access to the Reports area of the administration and monitoring website.

    Note

    The installer script doesn't create the domain user groups that you specify in the -HelpdeskUsersGroupName, -HelpdeskAdminsGroupName, and -MbamReportUsersGroupName parameters. Before you run the script, make sure to create these groups.

    When you specify the -HelpdeskUsersGroupName, -HelpdeskAdminsGroupName, and -MbamReportUsersGroupName parameters, make sure to specify both the domain name and the group name. Use the format "domain\user_group". Don't exclude the domain name. If the domain name or group name contains spaces or special characters, enclose the parameter in quotation marks (").

  • -SiteInstall Both: Specify which of the components to install. Valid options include:

    • Both: Install both components
    • HelpDesk: Install only the administration and monitoring website
    • SSP: Install only the self-service portal

  • -IISWebSite: The website where the script installs the MBAM web applications. By default, it uses the IIS default website. Create the custom website before using this parameter.

  • -InstallDirectory: The path where the script installs the web application files. By default, this path is C:\inetpub. Create the custom directory before using this parameter.

  • -DomainName applies to version 2002 and later: Specify the NetBIOS domain name of the server with the help desk or self-service web portal role. Only necessary if the NetBIOS domain name doesn't match the DNS domain name. This configuration is also known as a disjointed domain namespace. For example, -DomainName fabrikham where the DNS domain name is contoso.com.

  • -Uninstall: Uninstalls the BitLocker Management Help Desk/Self-Service web portal sites on a web server where they have been previously installed.

Verify

Monitor and troubleshoot using the following logs:

  • Windows Event logs under Microsoft-Windows-MBAM-Web. For more information, see About BitLocker event logs and Server event logs.

  • Trace logs for each component are in the following default locations:

    • Self-service portal: C:\inetpub\Microsoft BitLocker Management Solution\Logs\Self Service Website

    • Administration and monitoring website: C:\inetpub\Microsoft BitLocker Management Solution\Logs\Help Desk Website

For more troubleshooting information, see Troubleshoot BitLocker.
