The package can be used to prepare the TPM chip.

If the TPM chip is ready for encryption when the package is installed, no changes are made.

The package can be used to suspend BitLocker on the operating system drive.

💡 Data drives do not support the -RebootCount parameter, meaning that BitLocker is suspended until resumed manually. To avoid scenarios where data drives are left unintentionally unprotected, CapaBitLocker only supports suspension of the operating system drive.
