Add Data Recovery Agent
Data Recovery Agent Can’t Decrypt Files?
Hello, I am just doing expierements on EFS system in Windows XP Standalone (No Domains), this is how it goes:
1. I used Cipher /r:DRA
to generate a certificate for my Admin Account to be Data Recovery Agent
2. Run –> gpedit.msc –> Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings –> Security Settings -> Public Key Ploicies.
3. Right Click On Encrypting File System, Add Data Recovery Agent.
4. Browsed For The Cirtificate I made Before using Cipher and Got my account listed as Data Recovery Agent.
Tell now every thing is looking fine.
Then I made a new user account called TEST, I loggin using it, and encrypted a folder,
now I should be able to decrypt it using my Admin account, but I can’t, can I know why, or if thier any step by step tutorial to make DRA account and Recover data using it.
