Manage-bde question

I have two computer both have bitlocker enabled

Second one d drive need manage-bde command

To decrypt

1.If decrypt with this command, will it lose encryption protection in use for d drive?

2.C drive never need to use manage-bde to decrypt

Does it mean that confidential data should save to d drive is better than c drive document folder ?

3.What is the difference in two computer when both have bitlocker enabled, and one need manage-bed to decrypt ?

 

BitLocker key protector management help


Seeking BitLocker help:

Win10 machine with TPM.
OS drive was successfully encrypted with "TPM & PIN" additional key protection.
Now I'm hoping to drop back to "just TPM" with no additional PIN protection without having to decrypt and re-encrypt. (note: the reason is so that updates will reboot back to windows login and leave this base station machine accessible by Remote (RDP) but the reason is not what I want to discuss)

I haven't found how to do it yet and don't know whether to concentrate on the "manage-bde" commands or gpupdate or both to find the answer. None of the local bitlocker policies are enabled (but the machine is in an AD domain.) If I try the following:
manage-bde -protectors -delete C: -Type TPMAndPIN
(within an admin cmd prompt) I get:
"ERROR: An error occurred while deleting the key protector.
Group Policy settings require the use of a PIN at startup. Please choose this Bitlocker startup option."

Is there a way I can check what the domain admin is requiring? I forget how to check the broader group policies on Win10.
Thanks!

 

Need correct syntax to use manage-bde command to unlock bitlocker encrypted drive

My laptop hard drive is encrypted. I am prompted to enter a bitlocker pin at boot up. It gets me to logon screen. I am trying to use manage-bde command to unlock my drive. What is correct syntax for entering the pin?

I tried manage-bde -unlock c: -password

than I entered my pin but it it did not work.

When I tried manage-bde -status,

I see the Key Protectors as

TPM + Pin

Pin

Numerical Password.
