We have a customer folder that needs encryption, so we setup EFS encryption
thru Win2003 server. According to what I have read so far, only the user
who created the encrypted folder/file can decrypt it. Is there a method to
allow a group to decrypt/read an encrypted folder/file under this
environment. If any changes to this need be made or any advice, please do
forward

thanks

EFS bases access on users, not groups.
In W2k3 and XP it is possible for one file to have multiple users that
can decrypt/reencrypt the file. Any user with this ability can add more
users. But, this is configured on a file by file, user by user basis only.
