Description

The Test-MbamReport cmdlet checks server prerequisites and validates parameter values for the Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) Reports feature.

Examples

Example 1: Check prerequisites and validate parameters for the Reports feature

This command checks the prerequisites and validates the parameters for the Reports feature on the local server. The connection string specifies that ContosoDatabaseServer hosts the Compliance and Audit Database. The cmdlet prompts you to enter credentials for the Compliance and Audit Database. The reports group is ContosoDomain\ReportsGroup.

PS C:\> Test-MbamReport -ComplianceAndAuditDBConnectionString "Data Source=MyDatabaseServer;Initial Catalog=MBAM Compliance Status;Integrated Security=True" -ReportsReadOnlyAccessGroup "MyDomain\MyReportsGroup" -Detailed
