Certificate Authorities will implement that by default. User certificates and many
others can be used for EFS. There is also a certificate just for EFS encryption. If
you want to see what certificate templates are already configured on a CA, open the
Certificate Authority mmc snapin and find the CA and go to policy settings to see the
current certificate templates available. From there select new/certificate to issue
to see the other available templates. Be sure to read the EFS best practices link
below if you have not done so yet. --- Steve
