How to use EFS in AD Domain environment ?

Guest

My PC(XP SP2) is joined to Winsdows 2003 Active Directory.
When I tried to enable EFS, I got the following Error.

EFS recovery policy contains invalid recovery certificate.
Event ID: 6028

And then I check the group policy (gpedit.msc)
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\ Public Key
Policies\Encrypted Data Recovery Agents node,
but I can not find any certificate.

Where can I find the invalid recovery certificate ?
Or, do you have any solution?
