Resume-BitLocker
Resume-BitLocker
Restores Bitlocker encryption for the specified volume.
Syntax
Parameter Set: __AllParameterSets
Resume-BitLocker [-MountPoint] <String[]> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The Resume-BitLocker cmdlet restores encryption on a volume that uses BitLocker Drive Encryption. You can use the Suspend-BitLocker cmdlet to allow users to access encrypted data temporarily. Data written to the volume continues to be encrypted, but the key to unlock the operating system volume is in the open.
You can specify a volume by drive letter, or you can specify a BitLocker volume object. If you specify a BitLocker volume that is not suspended, this cmdlet has no effect on that volume.

Parameters
