BitLocker Protecting Other Drives?

06-14-2006

I've seen some noise on the Web about being able to use BitLocker's command
line tool to protect drives and partitions other than just the OS partition.

Is this the case, and if so how?

According to the postings I have read, It only supports the partition that
the OS is installed on at this time. I hope that in the future it will
support all partitions.

I've figured it out. You have to use the command line tool to do it.

"cscript manage-bde.wsf -on E: -RecoveryPassword -RecoveryKey G:\
-StartupKey G:\" is the basic command for it. This encrypts the E: drive
and stores the keys on the USB thumbdrive G:.
