IsAutoUnlockKeyStored method of the Win32_EncryptableVolume class

The IsAutoUnlockKeyStored method of the Win32_EncryptableVolume class indicates whether any external keys or related information that may be used to automatically unlock data volumes exist in the currently running operating system volume.

Syntax

uint32 IsAutoUnlockKeyStored(
  [out] boolean IsAutoUnlockKeyStored
);

Parameters

IsAutoUnlockKeyStored [out]

Type: boolean

Is true if any information that can be used to automatically unlock data volumes is stored in the registry of the currently running operating system volume.

Return value

Type: uint32

This method returns one of the following codes or another error code if it fails.

Remarks

Use ClearAllAutoUnlockKeys to remove all unlocking information from the currently running operating system volume.

Information used to unlock a volume is stored when EnableAutoUnlock is run for a data volume while the currently running operating system volume is running.

IsAutoUnlockKeyStored differs from IsAutoUnlockEnabled in that even if automatic unlocking is disabled for all data volumes currently connected to the computer, there may still be unlocking information associated with disconnected data volumes or data volumes that no longer exist.
