1. Open the respective BitLocker policy.
2. Open the General tab in the Harddisk encryption settings dialog.

3. Uncheck the Encrypt local hard disks on Agent computers option.

    

   

4. Set a value for the Delay decryption by x days setting. The default value is 3, which means that decryption starts after 3 days. Depending on the value you enter, the decryption will be delayed by x days.

   In order to start the encryption process immediately, enter the value 0 here.

5. Do not decrypt is the default setting, which is intended to prevent unwanted decryption. It is deactivated as soon as you enter a value for the delay.
