EFS & new domain

[Guest wb]

i have a few dir's encrypted using EFS that were setup when logging into

another domain where I worked. I can no longer login to that domain as I'm

not with that company now. Elcomsoft's "Advanced EFS Data Recovery" trial

product can find the keys and decrypt the first 512 bytes.

 

If that software can do it, isn't there a way my local cert manager can do

it without me having to pay 99.00 to Elcomsoft? Or is there an opensource

product that can do this?

 

note: the last day at work as per policy my account was disabled so the

local cache does not have the domain info i guess.

MS support will also do it for you for a fee.

Review http://www.beginningtoseethelight.org/efsrecovery which is

the original info on EFS recovery when the cert/key was not exported

and preserved, and which remains the document on how to do this if

you do not want to pay to get it done.
