Re: Encryption

copy via ntbackup is good; W2k to W2k is good (note that
XP and W2k do not share common algorithm unless you
take steps to degrade the XP).
The private key import for W2k I do not clearly recall at
this time. With XP one is presented with a choice to have
all accesses for use of the private key to need to prompt,
and that will not work - one has to import so that the key
can be used without user confirmation.
As you have transferred the files in valid fashion between
same OS machines, and assuming NTFS permissions are
not in the way (denial/failure message appears the same),
and you have examined the thumbprints such as with the
efsutil tool, things should be working if the private key
import was done correctly.

Sorry missed a question.

Both are using Win2000 pro. I copied the file over over vpn using
ntbackup.exe

What operating systems are involved?
How was the copy done?
When the EFS private key was imported into the account's
personal store, did you allow it to be used without prompting?

Hi

I encrypted a folder and copied it to another computer. Then I exported
the
cert/key to the other computer. On that computer, I imported the
cert/key
into the personal and trusted store for certificates. I am not able to
read
the file in the folder.

I check the serial # and thumbprint of the both the cert and it tallys.

How do I overcome this issue?

Many thanks in advance
Richard
