Hi Team,

I've a requirement of enabling disk encryption of more than 80 VM's in a resource group. so there any possible way to enable disk encryption in bulk rather than going one by one. Like using PowerShell and key Vault KEK method.

Additionally, the below backup policy wasn't working for ASR migrated VM's but it's working for newly created VM's from the marketplace. Please can you assist me on these?

Configure backup on virtual machines without a given tag to an existing recovery services vault in the same location

Thank you!

    @SivaSankaRao
    You can enable encryption of all VMs in the resource group by uncommenting line 211 of the Azure Disk Encryption prerequisites PowerShell script.

    The backup policy did not get attached to your question. I recommend posting this as a separate question as azure-backup is handled by a separate team. They should be able to provide assistance.

    Hope this helps! Let me know if you run into any issues or have more questions regarding encrypting your VMs.
