NAME Disable-BitLockerAutoUnlock
SYNOPSIS
Disables automatic unlocking for a BitLocker volume.
SYNTAX
Disable-BitLockerAutoUnlock [-MountPoint] <String[]> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Disable-BitLockerAutoUnlock cmdlet disables automatic unlocking for a volume protected by BitLocker Disk Encryption. The cmdlet removes
automatic unlocking keys for specified volumes stored on a volume that hosts an operating system.
You can configure BitLocker to automatically unlock volumes that do not host an operating system. After a user unlocks the operating system
volume, BitLocker uses encrypted information stored in the registry and volume metadata to access data volumes that use automatic unlocking.
You can specify a volume by drive letter, or you can specify a BitLocker volume object. You must remove automatic unlocking keys before you can
disable BitLocker by using the Disable-BitLocker cmdlet. You can use the Clear-BitLockerAutoUnlock cmdlet to remove keys for all the volumes
configured to use automatic unlocking instead of just specified volumes.
For an overview of BitLocker, see BitLocker Drive Encryption Overview (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/libr ... 32774.aspx) on TechNet.
