I am having a problem where I can use EFS to encrypt files on my local
machine, but when I try to encrypt a file in My Documents;which is
redirected via Group policy, I get the following error:

Error Applying Attributes

An error occurred applying attributes to the file:

\servername\path\filename

Access is denied.


Ignore Ignore All Retry Cancel

I have checked and the member server that My Documents is being redirected
to is set to Trust this computer for delegation to any service(Kerberos
only).

I did notice in CA that this server has not been issued a certificate.
The environments is Server2003/XP Pro.

Thanks

According to

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911805/en-us

"The use of encrypted files in a roaming user profile is not supported. This
behavior is by design." I guess that applies to redirected folders as well.

Hope that helps,

Mark
