Bitlocker Recovery - Check Point HARMONY R81 Administration Manual

BitLocker Recovery

BitLocker recovery is the process by which you can restore access to a BitLocker-protected
drive in the event that you cannot unlock the drive normally.
In SmartEndpoint you can use the Recovery Key ID for a computer to find the Recovery Key
for an encrypted client computer. With the Recovery Key, the user can unlock encrypted drives
and perform recoveries.
Important - Treat the Recovery Key like a password. Only share it using trusted and
confirmed channels.
To get the Recovery Key for a client computer:
1. Open SmartEndpoint and go to Menu > Tools > BitLocker Management Recovery.
The BitLocker Management Recovery window opens
2. Start typing the Recovery Key ID of the client. The Recovery Key ID is a string of
numbers and letters that looks like this:
C9F38106-9E7C-46AE-8E88-E53948F11776
After you type a few characters, the Recovery Key ID fills automatically.
3. Optional: If you don't have the Recovery Key ID for the client, you can search for it. For
this and other recovery options:
a. Click Advanced.
The BitLocker Management Advanced Recovery window opens.
b. To search for the Recovery Key ID, type the Common Name of the computer, or
browse for it
