BitLocker Key ID - what is it used for?

Hello again,

Thank you for your help so far.

I tried your suggestion (manage-bde -protectors -get c but did not obtain the BitLocker Key ID. I did, however get the BitLocker Recovery Key which is handy.

I still wish to be able to publicly post the the Key ID for management purposes. Do you have an idea how I can read it from an unknown PC?
