[PowerShell] BitLocker2Barcode - a script to acquire a BitLocker Recovery Key from JumpCloud and display as barcodes

Hi Community Folks

It's a week after the largest IT-meltdown in the history and I read in the morning that there are still more than 200K devices unrecovered. During this incident the IT Community came together and as usual, some people came up with with quick and creative solutions to remove burdens. One of this burdens is the acquisition of BitLocker Recovery Keys and get them on the target system to unlock the disk. 
Robert Woltz and his team came up with this neat approach to use a Barcode Scanner and make the lookup and entry easier - see their post on LinkedIn here.

I took the liberty and adjusted/rewrote the script to be able to acquire the recovery key from JumpCloud if needed. 

You can find this version on my GitHub
In execution it looks like this:

Please not that each barcode represents one segment of the recovery key. Cramping the entire recovery key into a single barcode is not feasible. 


Wishing everyone a great weekend without getting surprised again!
