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.

  • So are you trying to check locally on a windows 7 machine, or are you checking the machine remotely? – Drew Jul 19 '18 at 12:02
  • @DrewLean It can be anycase. i have checked it in local as well as remote system. windows 7 is not having the property volumeType in Win32_EncryptableVolume class. – LearningC Jul 20 '18 at 15:02
