Can anyone please explain why this command will not work? I'm so close to finally scripting this but this error is driving me nuts!
$SecureString=ConvertTo-SecureString "Test1234567" –asplaintext –force
Enable-BitLocker -MountPoint "C:" -UsedSpaceOnly -Pin $SecureString -TPMandPinProtector -SkipHardwareTest -RecoveryKeyPath "e:\" -RecoveryKeyProtector
(Get-BitLockerVolume -MountPoint C).KeyProtector.recoverypassword > c:\bitlockerkey.txt
The error is:
Enable-BitLocker : Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters.
At C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\bitlocker.ps1:9 char:1
- Enable-BitLocker -MountPoint "C:" -UsedSpaceOnly -Pin $SecureString - ...
-
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Enable-BitLocker], ParameterBindingException

Hi Karl,
Do you want to enable BitLocker drive encryption via the command prompt, if yes ,you should evoke manage-bde command. Refer to the link below:
BitLocker encryption can also be done through BitLocker control panel and Windows Explorer.
Best regard,
Sylvia

So what's the difference between Manage-BDE and Powershell commands? I'm already building out a lot of my scripts in powershell. Why choose Manage-BDE? From what i understood, they seem about the same for the advanced configurations of Bitlocker.

Hi,
I suppose there may be a string missing from your command which is -EncryptionMethodf
Here is an example for you:
$SecureString = ConvertTo-SecureString "1234" -AsPlainText -Force
Enable-BitLocker -MountPoint "C:" -EncryptionMethod Aes256 -UsedSpaceOnly -Pin $SecureString -TPMandPinProtector
You can also get more advice by visiting the link：

Please let us know if you would like further assistance.
Really hope that will help you.
Best wishes,
Young Yang
