EFS and recovery ploicy

[Philippe LE PAGE]

Hello,

On a XP Pro SP1 workstation, I'm unable to crypt files with EFS, having a
pop-up window with the following message: "The recovery policy for this
system contains a non valid recovery certifcate". To fix that problem, I've
deleted the local admin (and only) recovery certificate (secpol.msc ->
public key policy-> EFS files system) so that now there is no more recovery
certificate. But I've got the same message on and on.

Ideas ?

Thanks

your machine must be joined to a domain ... is it getting invalid policy
from the domain?

I'm not sure to understand. How a policy can be invalid ?
