I have a customer that moved windows profile and we have no access to the old windows profile and she had folders that were encrypted using EFS. I can see the files are Green and when trying to open we get denied error, and trying to uncheck the EFS box for that file or folder says denied too. Has anyone had any luck with software trying to unlocked the EFS files ? We are willing to pay for software (within reason) if it will save us hours and hours of work.

The reason is we moved them to a new domain and of course it means a new windows login and the tech didn’t know she had EFS files, and booting up the old domain and trying to login on her machine with the old login is not possible. Hence why we are looking for something to save our bacon.

Anyone used Advanced EFS Data Recovery | Elcomsoft Co.Ltd. ?

Where are the private keys for the EFS shares? Do you have that certificate or file?

No clue and dunno.

5

No backups?

The whole idea of encryption is, of course, to prevent you from doing this.

Looks like they have a free trial that should be able to show if the program works.
