    Hello,

    I have the following question:

    If I encrypt the OS of a computer with MBAM BitLocker and use TPM+PIN as protector, is it possible to change the protector after the encryption finished? For example to TPM only?

    Best regards,

    Renate

    Hello,

    I found a solution:

    • change the MBAM group policy, so that the protector for the drive is "TPM only" instead of "TPM and PIN"
    • load the new group policy

    change the protector:

    • start the command line and enter the following:
    • manage-bde -protectors -disable C:
    • manage-bde -protectors -delete C: -type TPMAndPIN
    • manage-bde -protectors -add C: -tpm
    • manage-bde -protectors -enable C:

    Best regards,
