Disk Encryption- Deployments
A deployment pushes a BitLocker policy to a scope of endpoints- encrypting their drives- or decrypts them again. The list tracks each deployment's progress.
How to get here
- Open Device Control → Disk Encryption.
- Click the Deployments tab.
Navigate to: Device Control → Disk Encryption → Deployments
URL path: /device-control/bitlocker-settings/deployments
The Deployments screen
Each row is a deployment with its stage and the count of endpoints succeeded, failed, and pending. Create starts a new one.
