TCGSecurityActivationDisabled
specifies whether
Windows® automatically configures encrypted drives (eDrives), also
known as encrypted hard disk drives (eHDDs).
TCGSecurityActivationDisabled
sets the Group Policy
administrative template setting: Do not automatically encrypt
files moved to encrypted folders. This Group Policy setting is
used after Windows is installed and started up. The setting
specifies, for unprovisioned eDrives, whether security should be
activated on the eDrive during provisioning. Use the DisableEncryptedDiskProvisioning
unattend setting for configuring the operating system installation
for the target HDD.
