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.
