BitLocker Key Storage Checker
This script connects to Microsoft Graph API, retrieves all Windows devices from Intune, and checks if each device has BitLocker recovery keys stored in Entra ID. The script provides detailed reporting on compliance status, identifies devices without stored keys, and exports comprehensive results to CSV format for further analysis. This helps ensure proper BitLocker key escrow for data recovery scenarios.

.EXAMPLE
.\check-bitlocker-keys.ps1
Generates BitLocker key storage report for all Windows devices in Intune
.EXAMPLE
.\check-bitlocker-keys.ps1 -OutputPath "C:\Reports" -OnlyShowMissing
Saves report to specified directory and shows only devices missing BitLocker keys
.EXAMPLE
.\check-bitlocker-keys.ps1 -IncludeLastSync -ExportJson
Includes last sync information and exports results in JSON format as well
.NOTES
- Requires Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module: Install-Module Microsoft.Graph.Authentication
- BitLocker keys are automatically escrowed to Entra ID when properly configured
- Devices must be Azure AD joined or Hybrid Azure AD joined for key escrow
- Consider configuring BitLocker policies to enforce key escrow
- Regular monitoring helps ensure compliance with data protection requirements
