The Enable method of the Win32_Tpm class allows the TPM owner to enable or resume the TPM.
To run this method, the TPM must already have an owner. To enable a TPM that does not already have an owner, use the SetPhysicalPresenceRequest method.
Syntax
uint32 Enable(
[in] string OwnerAuth
);
Parameters
- OwnerAuth [in]
-
A string that identifies the TPM owner.
This string must be a base64-encoded string that contains exactly 20 bytes of binary data. Use the ConvertToOwnerAuth method to translate a passphrase to this expected format.
Return Value
All TPM errors as well as errors specific to TPM Base Services can be returned.
The following table lists some of the common return codes.
| Return code/value | Description |
