HI,

I've got WinXP clients and a Windows 2003 Server. The server is the DC
using AD and I have a Group Policy for the Domain with "Use FIPS
compliant algorithms ...." enabled.

How do I test/check/verify that the EFS filesystems are using 3-DES? I
have to have proof completed before Dec 12 for a security audit. I've
checked around and can't find anything on technet or in the reskit.
Anyone know how to do this?

Cheers,
Christian Anton
