Is there a way in a Windows Server 2003 environment to use EFS to encrypt a
group of folders so that only a group of individuals have access to them? I
know how to encrypt a folders to restrict access to one person, but I would
like to know if there is a way to allow multiple individuals to access them.

Thanks
