Vista - Where is \root\cimv2\Security\MicrosoftVolumeEncryption?

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??

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?

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.

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.
