Hi all,

I am in a midst of a small migration. We have w2k deployed and PKI. Uers
are using certs for EFS. I know migrating these uses to new w2k3 forest will
break the EFS encryption, but i wanted to know if users can still use their
certificate in the local store to decrypt the files / folders etc after they
move to the new w2k3 forest.

thanks all,
Jason

It would be best to look at the ADMT, I believe that it has methods for
migrating the
certificates. Alternatively, look at exporting the EFS certificates to a PKCS#12
and then
reimporting them to the new user profiles.
The key is getting the certificates into the new user profiles so taht the user
can open the
previously encrypted files.
