Hello;
I'm sure i'm overthinking this, but I assume that Encrypting File System has NOT been used in the past as the Administrator Certificate Expired in Dec 2007 and when I'm login as the Administrator and try an export, I receive a message that the Private Key can't be located.
OR
Does this mean it was a SBS2003 instance and was upgraded to SBS2008 and the key was not backup and restored, hence I "Should" fix the Cert before uninstalling the Cert Service?
Thanks Again - Andrew
Andrew,
The fact that the certificate was expired does not tell us anything whether EFS was used or not, it is for recovery purposes. If the certificate does not have a private key it means it was from a previous migration. If you create a new one you can save it with the private key and use that in the case you have some data that needs to be decrypted.
Hello again;
I just noticed...With the migration, I did not see where we create a new Certificate Service on one of the new servers. I see we are about to remove one from the SBS server.
p.s. did you get the 4 block of support order? I hope that is sufficient to cover off the help with the Exchange issue remote support...if not let me know.
Regards
Andrew
