NAME Get-BitLockerVolume
SYNOPSIS
Gets information about volumes that BitLocker can protect.
SYNTAX
Get-BitLockerVolume [[-MountPoint] <String[]>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Get-BitLockerVolume cmdlet gets information about volumes that BitLocker Drive Encryption can protect. You can specify a BitLocker volume by
drive letter, followed by a colon (C:, E:). If you do not specify a drive letter, this cmdlet gets all volumes for the current computer.
You can use this cmdlet to get BitLocker volumes to use with other cmdlets, such as the Enable-BitLocker cmdlet or the Add-BitLockerKeyProtector
cmdlet. You can also use this cmdlet to view the following information about a BitLocker volume:
-- VolumeType. Data or Operating System.
-- Mount Point. Drive letter.
-- CapacityGB. Size of drive.
-- VolumeStatus. Whether BitLocker currently protects some, all, or none of the data on the volume.
-- Encryption Percentage. Percent of the volume protected by BitLocker.
-- KeyProtector. Type of key protector or protectors.
-- AutoUnlock Enabled. Whether BitLocker uses automatic unlocking for the volume.
-- Protection Status. Whether BitLocker currently uses a key protector to encrypt the volume encryption key.
