EFS Recovery Agent
Hi, Need some help on the procedures on how can a recovery agent decrypt a file encrypted by EFS on a user machine. The user machine is a vista business login to a 2008 Server domain. When the EFS is activated on the file, it shows that administrator as the recovery agent. However, when I login as administrator, I'm not able to decrypt the file. Any advice?
