Tools and Commands

Using Windows PowerShell, unmount the E: drive and document your progress with screen captures.

Challenge Exercise

In Part 3 of this lab, you encrypted a drive on the remote Windows machine using BitLocker. Now, change the BitLocker password to a password of your own that meets the password complexity requirements, then turn off BitLocker, rename the drive to yourname, replacing yourname with your own name, change the drive letter to Z:, and encrypt the drive with the new BitLocker password. Document your progress with screen captures.
