Disable-BitLockerAutoUnlock |
Disables automatic unlocking for a BitLocker volume.
Disable-BitLockerAutoUnlock [-MountPoint] <String[]> [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
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 on TechNet.
