I've just started to look into XP EFS for our laptop users. On some files I try to encrypt I get an error about an "invalid recovery agent" Administrator is defined as the recovery agent in the default domain policy. It's only some files I'm having trouble with, not all. The 'details' button is greyed out on the files that don't encrypt and yet some with the greyed out "details" I can encrypt. If I go into the successful files I can see the recovery agent is indeed Administrator. Clients are XP DC is 2000 Help!
