# MBAM 2.5 Deployment Checklist


You can use this checklist to help you during Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) deployment with a Stand-alone topology.

**Note**  
This checklist outlines the recommended steps and a high-level list of items to consider when you deploy Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring features. We recommend that you copy this checklist into a spreadsheet program and customize it for your use.
