Adding MBAM Client in image

Hi,

Is it okay to capture the MBAM 2.0 client inside an image that will be used to deploy to machines or should it be laid down at deployment time? As of now we don't have bitlocker infra ready. If we have MBAM inside image, does it mean that HDD start encrypting once image is deployed or does it just make system encryption ready and bitlocker can be enabled later?

I just want to have system bitlocker ready as of now so that once bitlocker infra is ready we can just start using it .

thanks

Regards,
