DEAR ALL,
I HAVE SOMETHING HAPPEN TO MY USERS.
I HAVE 5 USERS, ALL OF THEM IS UNDER THE SAME WORKGROUP, AND ALL OF THEM IS
WINDOWS XP-PRO SP2.
THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT WORKGROUP, THAN MY ORIGINAL WORKGROUP, BECAUSE THE 5
USERS ARE FROM ANOTHER CONSULTANT COMPANY AND THEY ARE WORKING FOR PERIODE OF
8 MONTHS.
ANYWAY, ONE OF THE USERS, HE WAS WORKING ON HIS PC, AND USED TO SAVE HIS
FILES - EITHER IF ITS WORD OR EXCEL, ON ONTHER FOLDER.
HE USED TO LOGIN TO HIS PC WITH THE USER NAME ( YTR) AND THIS USERS IS FROM
ADMINISTRATIVE GORUP.
FOR SOME RESOANS, THIS USERS HE MAKE ENCRYPTED FILE SYSTEM OVER THIS FOLDER
AND ALL OF THE FILES WHICH IS UNDER THIS FOLDER.
AFTER SOMETIME, THIS USERS WE DISCOVER TAHT HE FORMATE HIS PC COMPLETELY ,
EXCEPT THE PARTITION WHICH IS INCLUDE HIS FOLDER - THE ONE WHICH WAS
ENCRYPTED-.
AFTER HE FORMATE HIS PC COMPLETELY, HE CREATE THE SAME USER ON THE MACHINE ,
AND THEN HE TRIED TO OPEN THE FILES, NAD HE DISCOVER THAT HE IS UNABLE TO
OPEN , AND WINDOWS DISPLAY ERRO MESSAGE THAT INDICATE HE DOES NOT HAVE A
COMPLETE PREVILGES .
I LOOKED TO PERMISSION AND I FOUND THAT , EVEN THE USER HIM SELF IS HAVE
FULL CONTROL OVER THIS FOLDER AND ALSO EVERYONE HAVE THE SAME PERMISSION .
HOWVER HE IS UNABLE TO OPEN THE FILE.
ONCE I TRIED TO UNCHECK THE MARK FOR EFS, I FOUND THAT ITS DISPLAY ERROR
MESSSGAE AND ITS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE ENCRYPTION AND DISPLAY ACCESS DENIED.
CAN ANY ONE TELL ME HOW CAN I OPEN THE FILES AND LET ME SEE IT?
THE MAIN THING WE FORMATE THE PC COMPLETELY.
I DO NOT KNOW IF I AM CORRECT ON THIS PLAN, WHICH IS THE FOLLOWING:-
1- As LONG AS THEY ARE 5 USERS, AND ALL OF THEM ARE UNDER THE SAME
WORKGROUP, CAN I COPY THE CERTIFICATE FROMT HE OTHER USER AS WELL AND THEN
TRY TO REMOVE THE ENCRIPTION.
I WAS TRYING EVEN TO CHANGE THE OWNERSHIP, BUT ITS COULD NOT WORK.
PLEASE ADVICE ME .
