Rotate BitLocker Recovery Password for Drives

BitLocker password rotation refers to the process by which IT administrators change the recovery password. With Hexnode, admins can effectively update the BitLocker recovery password using the Rotate BitLocker Recovery Password remote action. Admins can choose to change the recovery password for all drives or only for specific drives, based on their preference. Bitlocker encryption policy must be deployed on your devices before executing this action.
