If anyone interested in this, I found a solution.
Copy the below text and then save it as .vbs file.
Option Explicit
Dim strNumericalKeyID
Dim strManageBDE,strManageBDE2
Dim oShell
Dim StrPath
Dim StdOut, strCommand
Dim Result, TPM, strLine
Dim Flag, NumericalKeyID
Set oShell = CreateObject("WSCript.Shell")
'====================================================================================
'This section looks for the Bitlocker Key Numerical ID
strManageBDE = "Manage-BDE.exe -protectors -get c:" 'Bitlocker command to gather the ID
Flag = False
Set Result = oShell.Exec(strManageBDE)'sees the results and places it in Result
Set TPM = Result.StdOut 'Sets the variable TPM to the output if the strManageBDe command
While Not TPM.AtEndOfStream
strLine = TPM.ReadLine 'Sets strLine
If InStr(strLine, "Numerical Password:") Then ' This section looks for the Numerical Password
Flag = True
End If
If Flag = True Then
If InStr(strLine, "ID:") Then 'This section looks for the ID
NumericalKeyID = Trim(strLine)' This section trims the empty spaces from the ID {} line
NumericalKeyID = Right(NumericalKeyID, Len(NumericalKeyID)-4)
Flag = False 'Stops the other lines from being collected
End If
End If
Wend
strManageBDE2 = "Manage-BDE.exe -protectors -adbackup C: -ID " & NumericalKeyID
oShell.Run strManageBDE2, 0, True 'Runs the Manage-bde command to move the numerical ID to AD.
Open elevated command prompt and execute the script from command line ant it will back up the recovery password to AD.
