I wrote the following PowerShell script to encrypt files recursively. What I'd like to do is monitor the process the encryption is running under, so that I can add a "do while" and "Stop-Computer" to the script in order to shut the computer down after the encryption process finishes. The problem is I can't seem to find anywhere what name "Encrypt" runs under as a process: get-item C:\* -recurse -force | foreach { write-host $_.name; $_.encrypt() }

That's a "Get-ChildItem" command at the beginning; sorry.

Hi, I assume that your OS is Windows 7 and encrypting tool is Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption, so the whole Service name is BitLocker Drive Encryption Service. I suggest you post your issue in Script forum for further assistance. Script Center http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/scripting
