EFS -DRA on stand alone XP

T

Tomas

Are there any people have problem with EFS. I follow steps
of Microsoft, Sybex book to create a DRA but I can not open
the encripted file. Please let me know what I did wrong

1)login as user1 to create a file (test.txt) and encript it
2)log off user1 and logon as Administrator
3)from dos screen run: cipher /r:test
4)click on test.pfx to install test.pfx
5)go to Local Security Setting . Highlight Encripting File
System to create an DRA

After the above steps, the administrator login still could
not open the test.txt which was encripted by user1.

Please help. Thanks a lot for your input

user1 needs to touch the test.txt file so that it will
be (re)encrypted _after_ the DRA has been defined.
