A recent post talked about how someone's domain controller
was ruined by a virus and they had to reformat and
reinstall which of means that the old domain is gone.
Apparently a full backup was not available.
Problem occurs with users who have encrypted files on the
defunct DC and now cannot get to their encrypted files
because the old domain does not exist.
As a preventative can a recovery agent place their EFS
recovery certificate on a disk and store it someplace.
Then use that disk to import the certificate and open the
encypted files that have been restored to a seperate
computer?
Is there a better way to do it?(other than full backups of
DC's)
Interesting problem.
