Re: Unable to open encrypted files

The user has just changed the password on the pc today.
Seems she thought that changing this would help her.

The machine shows her certificate, but as the password change I am not sure if it is Ok any more even though she changed it back to the original password

Hi,

Has this workstation (accessing the files) had the username/password changed ? Is the EFS certificate still on this machine ?

We recently concerted our small office server from Windows server 2003 std to Small Business Server 2003 SP1
This was done using the Swing Migration method, there was supposed to be no special security on files or folders, however after 2 days I was called by one of the users who is unable to open their files and folders, it turns out that this users computer had some strange setting where some files were were being encrypted, this has been solved but we can not open the previously encrypted files as the server was re-installed as new.

I have a full backup of the old server but don't want to restore this to the server just to retrieve these few files.
is there any method to recover these files without a full restore.
