I have Win Server 2012 and the drives of one of the HDDs connected to it are mapped as network drives in a Windows 10 client. If I encrypt those drives using bitlocker with the user account on the client, will it also be accessible for the admin account on the server? I want both users on the two machines to be able to access the encrypted content, how is it possible to do so?

  • @smwk, this has not yet been asked on SF. Maybe it would be good to answer it here and since you provided the link, maybe you'd like to give a short abstract that can then be marked as an answer, yes? – Daniel Aug 29 '16 at 11:52

The mapped drives are just Windows shares, so as long as the server can access the Bitlocker disks you can share the content to whoever you want.

    Thanks! After checking the link you provided I realized that Bitlocker is basically a password/key-based encryption not tied to any Windows account; and after an encrypted drive is unlocked and opened, it behaves just like any other drives. – Supernova Aug 29 '16 at 12:18
