How can I format the output to Manage-bde? - powershell

Question

I was recently tasked with keeping track of the laptops that are encrypted with BitLocker. We have over 300 laptops and not are on the network at the same time. The person that I took over for was using the flowing command line script to create a txt for each computer.
FOR /F %%A IN (c:\Temp\BitLock\BitLock.txt) DO c:\temp\BitLock\PsExec.exe \\%%A -e cmd /c (hostname ^& Date /T ^& manage-bde.exe -status ^& manage-bde -protectors c: -get) >> \\server\Bitlocker\Recovery_Key\2015\%%A.log pause
I would like to have that information in one csv so I can quickly go through to see what is not encrypted. Opening one file at a time seems like a lot of extra work. The below code is what I have come up with in PowerShell. I am having problems getting the data to show in the cells. I don't think I am using the right object class name.
$computers= get-content c:\temp\computerlist.txt
$txtfile = "c:\temp\test\Computer4.txt"
foreach ($computer in $computers){
manage-bde -cn $compute -status |
Select "Conversion Status",Password |
export-csv c:\temp\test\Computer4.csv
}
My end goal is to have it display like below.
Computer Name Recovery Key Conversion Status Protection Status Computer Description
Name XXXXXXXXXX Fully Encrypted Protection On John, Smith Laptop

I know this is a very old post but I thought I'd still contribute an answer for anyone else that comes across this.
Here's what I came up with which involved some custom formatting as PowerShell does not see manage-bde output as a PSObject:
$computers= get-content c:\temp\computerlist.txt
$txtfile = "c:\temp\test\Computer4.txt"
$bdeObject = #()
foreach ($computer in $computers) {
$bde = manage-bde -cn $computer -status
$ComputerName = $bde | Select-String "Computer Name:"
$ComputerName = ($ComputerName -split ": ")[1]
$ConversionStatus = $bde | Select-String "Conversion Status:"
$ConversionStatus = ($ConversionStatus -split ": ")[1]
$ConversionStatus = $ConversionStatus -replace '\s','' #removes the white space in this field
$PercentageEncrypted = $bde | Select-String "Percentage Encrypted:"
$PercentageEncrypted = ($PercentageEncrypted -split ": ")[1]
#Add all fields to an array that contains custom formatted objects with desired fields
$bdeObject += New-Object psobject -Property #{'Computer Name'=$ComputerName; 'Conversion Status'=$ConversionStatus; 'Percentage Encrypted'=$PercentageEncrypted;}
}
$bdeObject | Export-Csv c:\temp\test.csv -NoTypeInformation
Also I did not see a Recovery Key or Computer Description field in manage-bde. But this gets you a csv with the Computer Name, Conversion Status, and Percentage Encrypted fields.
