title: Having Issues Checking Workstation Bitlocker Status Remotely
body: <p>I've created a ps1 file that runs on our UTIL server for all workstations on our domain that checks if the computer is online, skips offline computers, checks bitlocker status, formats results, and writes to a CSV file. </p>
  
  <p>The script essentially uses manage-bde -cn $Computer -status C: and works great on most machines. However, there are a few machines that are confirmed on the network and online that do not reply with the status. </p>
  
  <p>I ran the same command manually in powershell on the UTIL server to the affected machines and get the result "ERROR: An error occurred while connecting to the Bitlocker management interface. Check that you have administrative rights on the computer and the computer name is correct" If I connect to the computer and check status on the computer itself, it displays results no problem. </p>
  
  <p>I'm logged into the UTIL server as an admin running powershell as admin. My question is, what would cause some computers to return results successfully and others to have an issue connecting to the Bitlocker management interface? Has anyone seen this before?</p>
