Digging deeper and deeper into the MBAM, i am getting a lot more queries in my mind. I hope you will help me on that. There is a way through which we can add hardware details of the Machine into the MBAM console under hardware section. i want to know what is the need for that. why do we need to manually add the hardware details of a machine although the MBAMAgent sends all the information to the database. --> Does the Bitlocking with MBAM is dependent on onlly the make and model of the machine (till now i only know that the encryption is dependent upon the make and model of the machine and not on the TPM information). --> Do the MBAM prompt for the encryption if there is only the info for the make and model of the machine. the compliant status of the machine has been set manually. there is a scenario for us where we have to manully add a machine make nad model under the hardware section and force the encryption process to start. is it possible to do so. --> Also how long does it take for MBAM to sent the compliant status of the hardware to the hardware. as far as i am concern it takes 24 hours to generate the compliance report. --> What is the validation step to check the reachability of the URL for the Compliance and Audit report. is it http://<NameofComplianceandAuditReportsServer>:<Port#>/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fMalta+Compliance+Reports%2fEnterprise+Compliance+Report Note: If you installed SRS on a named instance the URL will follow the following format: http://<NameofComplianceandAuditReportsServer>:<port#>/Reports_<NAMEDINSTANCE>/Pages/Folder.aspx?ItemPath=%2fMalta+Compliance+Reports%2fEnterprise+Compliance+Report --> How can i turn off the automatic discovery for the hardware. so that the MBAMagent will only pick the machine details added manually to the MBAM console. --> What policies are going in background through which the MBAMagent sends the compliance report to the MBAM database. --> do we have any debugging tools for that so as to monitor the background processes like to monitor the http communication or the behaviour of the SQL server on changes. any help would be greatly appreciated.
