I am working through an EFS project/evaluation. I have succesfully encrypted the data, and delegated the host computer account so I can access it remotely. That is working well. Ive read you can share the certificate of the account that encrypted the data with another account and that would allow the second account to access the files. Its not working. The two certificates published in AD are the same, the primary and secondary account. However, I cannot access the data locally or remotely. Is there no way to share an EFS encrypted folder? I may just have a hard time accepting EFS limitations. The tech was clearly devloped for single user encryption of my documents and such. Unfortunately, microsoft does not have a solution for End-to-End encryption in an enterprise environment.

Hi, Have you check the previous reply as we discuss about EFS in the following thread? Please following the step by step guide to sharing encrypted files. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserversecurity/thread/81cf01ca-84f2-4b29-8c79-a4cdbd855429/#c9cd0300-c610-45fa-8551-86080e02fb0a Best Regards, AidenAiden Cao TechNet Community Support

I exported the certificate (issued by the CA) and imported it into another account and that other cannot could not get access. I want to give access to all files/folders in an encrypted folder to multiple users. I know the folder isnt encrypted, its the files in it.
