Remotely set Bitlocker pin on multiple computers
Are there any programs available to remotely change the Bitlocker pin on multiple computers. We would like to periodically set all field laptops to a new (same) pin.

Hi jonman, you can use “Remote Desktop Connection” which within Windows 7, you can find at Start-----All Programs-----Accessories-----Remote Desktop Connection. Use this tools, you can remote to another computers by PC name or IP address. Of course, you should have administrator’s account and password in local PC or in domain. Thus you can change Bitlocker pin by remote to other PC. Notice: you should ensure remote option has been opened on the PC which you want to remote, you can check by these steps: right click “Computer”-----“Properties”— ---“Remote setting”-----Remote Desktop-----choose “Allow connections form computers running any version of Remote Desktop” Also, you can use third party tools to remote, like “pcanywhere” from SYMANTEC This following link may be helpful to you with the product “pcanywhere” http://www.symantec.com/business/pcanywhere Note: we provide the third party link for technical use only. There may be some changes without notice, Microsoft doesn’t guarantee any accuracy on contacting information.
