Decrypting encrypted drives

To start decrypting encrypted drives, proceed as follows:

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. On the Encryption protection tab, 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.
6. Click OK to confirm your settings.
