# BitLocker Installation Guide

## Prerequisites

- Minimum Version: Requires SysTrack 10.1 or later.

## Notes

- After this DEX Pack is installed, it may take up to 24 hours for data to appear.
- If you update or reinstall this DEX Pack, you must reassign any Views created below to the SF_BitLocker Role and reenable the bitlocker Action in Action Governance.

## Installation Steps

To install this DEX Pack, complete the following steps:

1. [Import the Kit](/documentation/docs/bitlocker-installation-guide#import-kit).
2. [Enable the bitlocker Action](/documentation/docs/bitlocker-installation-guide#enable-collection-extensions).
3. [Create the BitLocker View](/documentation/docs/bitlocker-installation-guide#bitlocker-view).
4. [Assign the View to the SF_BitLocker Role](/documentation/docs/bitlocker-installation-guide#assign-the-view-to-the-sfbitlocker-role).
5. [Assign the Role to relevant Configurations](/documentation/docs/bitlocker-installation-guide#bitlocker-role).

### Import the Kit

There are two ways to import the DEX Pack to SysTrack:

- Import the pack directly from the Kits page in SysTrack. See the [Import Online Kits](/documentation/docs/import-online-kits) guide for more information.
- Import a local file downloaded from the [DEX and Kit Downloads](/documentation/docs/dex-packs-dex-and-kit-downloads) page. Click the **Download Kit** link for the pack and follow the [Import Local Kits](/documentation/docs/import-local-kits) guide to finish the import.

### Enable the bitlocker Action

1. Verify you have unlocked the tenant next to your username.
2. In **Configure**, click **Automations and Collection Extensions** on the left.
3. Select **Action Governance**, then click the **Pending Approval** tab.
4. Find the **bitlocker** Action and select the checkbox next to it.
5. Click **Approve**, then confirm. The action moves to the **Actions** tab and is enabled automatically.

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE**: In SysTrack Cloud, the user who imported the Kit may not be allowed to approve its actions. If the checkbox is unavailable, ask another user with Action Governance – Management permission to approve the action.

The BitLocker Dashboard requires you to make a View for the SF_BitLocker Role.

To create the new View:

1. Navigate to **Configure** > **Views**.
2. Click the **padlock icon** in the upper-right to enable editing.
3. Click the **plus icon** to add a new View.
4. Fill in the Settings as follows:
  1. **View Name:** **SF_BITLOCKER**
  2. **Existing Category:** **Custom**
  3. **Expires in:** **30 Days**
  4. **When Expired:** **Overwrite**
  5. Do *NOT* check **When overdue by 1 day(s)**.
  6. Set the **Refresh** drop-downs to **Daily**, **Inside**, **24x7**, and **Every Day**.
  7. Copy the [SF_BITLOCKER SQL Query](/documentation/docs/bitlocker-installation-guide#sfbitlocker-sql-query2), and paste it into the box under **SQL Selection** > **Generic**.
  8. Click **Test SQL**. A **Success** message should appear at the top of the screen. If the test is not successful, the query may have been copied incorrectly.
5. Click **Create View** at the top-right.
