Bitlocker on Virtual Machines
Yes, however there is a challange which is that MBAM doesn't support servers yet. Without MBAM you can still use BitLocker but it won't be as manageable as some customers would like. You won't get reporting or self service recovery. Some customers feel these capabilities are primarily for client OS. We tend to agree but we plan to add such functionality in the future. Based on priorities it won't happen any time soon.

So without MBAM support, what are the options for server encryption recovery? Manually capture the recovery key and store in key safe?
- Managing your own key escrow? You're brave! :)
Just asking the question to see what the options are without MBAM.
