How to Fetch Bitlocker Tags from MECM (SCCM)

Bitlocker information from MECM (SCCM) can be found in Available SCCM SQL Views v_GS_encryptable_volume. The value to retrieve from SCCM to determine if a disk on a machine has Bitlocker enabled is “ProtectionStatus0”.

The Bitlocker Status tag will later be found for the Resource Type ‘Disks’.

How to Retrieve Bitlocker Status from MECM

1. Open Tags
   Go to Tags -> Click on Created from discovery -> + Create tag.

   

2. Choose “Disks”
   Since “ProtectionStatus0” is read from the disk, select Disks.

   

3. Name the Tag
   Give the tag a descriptive name, such as “SCCM – Bitlocker Status”, to clarify that the value is retrieved from SCCM. Search for “ProtectionStatus0” and select it.

   

4. Set Value Interpretation
   Tell vScope to interpret the retrieved value as Text.

   

Done

vScope will inventory the Bitlocker status during the next discovery. The value in the Disks table will be displayed as:

• 0 (Bitlocker is not enabled for the disk)
• 1 (Bitlocker is enabled for the disk)
• Other (Misconfigured)
