A Boolean value that indicates whether the process creates a recovery key for BitLocker. The key is used for recovering data encrypted on a BitLocker volume. This key is cryptographically equivalent to a startup key. If available, the recovery key decrypts the volume master key (VMK), which, in turn, decrypts the full volume encryption key (FVEK).

Note   The recovery key is stored in the location specified in the BDEKeyLocation property.
