All my laptop users have a folder encrypted with EFS on their local machine.
They use Win2k Pro and the encryption works fine on their machine. However if they try to copy any files to a share on a fileserver they get "Cannot copy xyz:Access is Denied. The source file may be in use."
An EFS recovery agent is setup on the fileserver in the local policy, but it won't let me encrypt anything locally on the machine saying no valid recovery policy is configured!
Now here's the twist, if I copy an encrypted file from a Win XP client to the fileserver it simply decrypts it (after a warning message) and copies it to the server.
So is there anyway of getting the XP functionality of simply decrypting before copying on the Win2k Pro clients? Also any additional help in sorting this issue would be great as I an encrypt data fine on other servers.
Thanks in advance
