Thanks for the quick reply. I actually got this process to work well
on one of our win2k3 servers....creating local profiles on the server
and importing the certificate to it, I'm able to encrypt files and
access them from other PC's.

I am having problems doing that on our 2k server (we only have
one...and it happens to be our file server also). I created a local
profile (USER A) on the 2k server and imported the certificate with
the private key. But when I encrypt files on that server through a
network share using USER A from a different PC...the file gets a
completely different thumbprint still...and I have no idea where it's
getting that thumbprint. I've looked thru both the local profile on
the server and on the PC..and I can't find that thumbprint. Do win2k
server just not work well with certificates?
