Here's one for the gurus. I'm trying to create a recovery agent, create the
appropriate certificates and so forth.
I have two PCs running XP Pro, a Dell, and a Gateway, really stand alone,
loosely networked
via a router, but not running active directory (that I know of, I don't
really understand Active Directory and haven't done anything with it) on a
server anywhere.
On the Dell Machine, I go through all the steps in MMC and create the
personal certificate, even get as far as exporting it to a .cer file, then
create the group policy and pick up the certificate for a local machine, but
the group policy won't accept the certificate and says it is invalid for
recovering data because it didn't get created using Active Directory.
On the Gateway machine, I go the MMC and can't even create the certificate
because it says it cannot contact Active Directory.
Any idea what's going wrong or what I need to be doing? Does one need to be
running in a server
environment to be able to encrypt data and recover it? Do I need to install
Active Directory on these machines or make one of them a server?
Any help is appreciated.
JZW.
