I export key and certificate with cipher (using pss id 887414), then i
import this in domain GPO (efs recovert agents....) , also i import this in

but this not work (this user is unable to open o disable encrytion in
files), when gpo update computers, this user is defined in each file as
recovery, but when this user logon an try open the message is "access denied).

If i create an certificate with MS CA, then this work OK.

What you are forgetting is that EFS has nothing to do with the user
account, and everything to do with who owns/possesses the private key of
the EFS recovery agent.
Just logging in as the user will not work. It does work when you request
the certificate from the Microsoft CA because you are logging on *with* the
account that requested the certificate *at* the computer where you made the
request.
If you generate the certificate with cipher, you get to objects: a .cer
file which you correctly imported into AD, and a .pfx or .p12 file that you
must import into the local user account.
It does not matter which account in fact. Any account will do
