Question here! Does anyone knows exactly what the

protection_status

column on

bitlocker_info

represents? I am trying to figure a query that gets either if Bitlocker is enabled or not. I was using that column to be

1

as Bitlocker is enabled but now I am seeing results with

0

but Bitlocker is in fact enabled.

protection_status

can be 0 if the drive isn’t finished encrypting yet

Yah, but that does not mean that bitlocker is enabled or not.

My personal filter is checking

percentage_encrypted == '100'

because unless it’s 100% done, I consider it not encrypted

But again, I need to know either Bitlocker is enabled or not, I have another query for the percent and the encryption status.

You probably want to check

conversion_status

then in addition to

protection_status

. I don’t remember all of the values it could be, but that should tell if it is in the process of encrypting which would indicate bitlocker is enabled

Is there a place to check

conversion_status

result meanings?

Amazing! Thank you!

A lot of the windows specific tables are just WMI queries, so TechNet is the best place to look up possible values
