Remove-BitLockerKeyProtector

Remove-BitLockerKeyProtector is accessible with the help of BitLocker module. To configure BitLocker, go through this link.

Synopsis

Removes a key protector for a BitLocker volume.

Description

The Remove-BitLockerKeyProtector cmdlet removes a key protector for a volume protected by BitLocker Drive Encryption.

You can specify a key protector to remove by using an ID. To add a protector, use the Add-BitLockerKeyProtector cmdlet.

If you remove all the key protectors for a BitLocker volume, BitLocker stores the data encryption key for the volume without using encryption. This means that any user that can access the volume can read the encrypted data on the volume unless you add a key protector. Any encrypted data on the drive remains encrypted.

We recommend you have at least one recovery password as key protector to a volume in case you need to recover a system.

Parameters

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-KeyProtectorId

Specifies the ID for a key protector. A BitLocker volume object includes a KeyProtector object. You have to specify the key protector ID. See the Examples section. To obtain a BitLocker volume object, use the Get-BitLockerVolume cmdlet.

-MountPoint

Specifies an array of drive letters or BitLocker volume objects. The cmdlet removes key protectors for the volumes specified. To obtain a BitLocker volume object, use the Get-BitLockerVolume cmdlet.

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Syntax

Remove-BitLockerKeyProtector [-MountPoint] <String[]> [-KeyProtectorId] <String> [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

——————–Example 1——————–
Remove a key protector for a volume
PS C:> $rmv = Get-BitLockerVolume -MountPoint “C:”
Remove-BitlockerKeyProtector -MountPoint “C:” -KeyProtectorId $rmv.KeyProtector[1]
This example removes a key protector for a specified BitLocker volume.
The first command uses Get-BitLockerVolume to obtain a BitLocker volume and store it in the $rmv variable.
The second command removes the key protector for the BitLocker volume specified by the MountPoint parameter. The command specifies the key protector by using its ID, contained in the BitLocker object stored in $rmv.
