I am trying to make out whether bitlocker
or bitlocker togo
(i.e. bitclocker on removable drive) is used to encrypt a drive. so basically its about knowing the volumeType
as seen by bitlocker
.
I tried using WMI class Win32_EncryptableVolume
to get this information.
The interface has a property volumetype.
The way works fine in windows 10. In windows 7 the Win32_EncryptableVolume class is not having a property volumeType
.
So is there a alternate way to know this ? i want to know whether bitlocker or bitlocker togo is used that will be same as knowing if a volume is removable or fixed.
I have tried using manage-bde.exe but that also does not give information about this.
So is there a way we can get this information for windows 7 ?
One thing is that this information is not same as how windows sees the drive as since there is a difference in the way bitlocker treats a volume(ref). So i cannot use interfaces such as wmic logicaldisk
.
