Hello

These commands inside a .bat batch file will disable bit locker for C:, D:...

manage-bde -off C:

manage-bde -off D:

...

Is it possible that using batch file (not powershell) I loop through existing drives and run the above command for each drive in system drives? If so, should be simple, but I've no knowledge of batch file scripting :(

Please help

    Try the following

    @echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
REM Get the list of drive letters
for /f "tokens=2 delims==:" %%d in ('wmic logicaldisk get caption^,drivetype ^| find "3"') do (
    set "drive=%%d"
    echo Disabling BitLocker for drive !drive!...
    manage-bde -off !drive!:
)
echo All BitLocker drives have been disabled.
pause
