Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) and Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM), both part of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP), have officially reached end of support as of 14 April 2026 (today). From this point forward, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, bug fixes, or compatibility assurances for these tools, similar to the lifecycle outcome observed with Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT).
Organizations that continue to rely on MBAM and AGPM must now assess risk exposure, validate operational dependencies, and define a transition strategy toward supported alternatives to maintain security, compliance, and long-term manageability.
To help you transition away from MBAM and AGPM, I have outlined practical and supported alternatives in the following guides. These articles provide a deeper dive into modern solutions and implementation approaches you can adopt moving forward.
