Encrypted File System (EFS) Win2000

**mosstimothy** · January 26, 2005

Can anyone help me with EFS Keys in Windows 2000

I am after some good back ground on how EFS keys work - I have looked through TechNet but it went "over my head"

Has anyone got a laims tems overview on how the EFS system works?

Also

I need to know the process of importing and exporting keys and what effects it has on the different ID's on your computer.

Hope someone can help me.

Regards

I can reccommend you only one thing. Don't mess with EFS if you really don't need it.

I have never seen anyone use EFS where it didn't come back and bite them in the a** at some point.

In other words, if you didn't understand the TechNet discription it's over your head and you shouldn't use it.

If you really want to know it keep pouring over the TechNet discription until you understand it. It is the best source.
