Hi,

I have seen references to this class on TechNet, however when I check
my WMI classes on Vista Enterprise, I do not see it. I don't see
Security listed at all. Is there something I need to do to use this
class??

OldDog

By using the WMI browser I found the elusive \root\cimv2\Security
\MicrosoftVolumeEncryption class.
So it's there, just kind of hidden. In any event, all that it will
show me is the encryptable volumes.
What I am really looking for is a way to determine if BitLocker is
enabled and running on a machine.
Via a script, of course. Any ideas?

I found this on the intertubes; one problem it reports 0 (zero) for
status regardless of the actual state;

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root
\CIMV2\Security\MicrosoftVolumeEncryption")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM
Win32_EncryptableVolume",,48)

For Each objItem in colItems
        Wscript.Echo "DeviceID: " & objItem.DeviceID
        Wscript.Echo "DriveLetter: " & objItem.DriveLetter
        Wscript.Echo "EncryptionMethod: " & objItem.GetEncryptionMethod
        Wscript.Echo "ProtectionStatus: " & objItem.GetProtectionStatus
        Wscript.Echo "ConversionStatus: " & objItem.GetConversionStatus
Next

I think this is on the right track, just something is missing.

So I added an "if" statement that restricts the view to the system
drive ( C: ) %99.9 of the time.

<-------------- Start Script ----------------------------------->
strComputer = "."
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strSDL = oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%SystemDrive%")
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root
\CIMV2\Security\MicrosoftVolumeEncryption")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM
Win32_EncryptableVolume",,48)

For Each objItem in colItems
If objItem.DriveLetter = strSDL then
WScript.Echo "DeviceID: " & objItem.DeviceID
Wscript.Echo "DriveLetter: " & objItem.DriveLetter
Wscript.Echo "EncryptionMethod: " & objItem.GetEncryptionMethod
Wscript.Echo "ProtectionStatus: " & objItem.GetProtectionStatus
Wscript.Echo "ConversionStatus: " & objItem.GetConversionStatus
End If
Next

<------------ End Script -------------------------->

Be carefull of the wrap, it's a killer.
I still have the issue where it reports a 0 (zero) for all three
objects.

Still working on it.
