How to publish a locally created (i.e. self-signed) EFS Certificate in Active
Directory ?

I'm not refering to ADUC mmc; there must be command line utility that
end-user simply runs to publish his/her EFS Certificate in AD.

Any idea,

TIA,

Mike
 
Certutil.exe will do that from command line. You can get the tool by
installing the adminpak (or from a computer with Certificate Services
installed).

The UI alternative is to open your Certificates Snap-in (Start > Run >
certmgr.msc). You'll see a store called "Active Directory User Object."
Right-click it and select "All Tasks" > "Import" to import a certificate from
file; or, if the self-signed certificate is in your Personal store (in the
same snap-in), you can copy/paste it into the ADUO store.

Thanks.
