Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (
More info?)
I guess I put too much faith in Microsoft's
instructions. They said just logoff and back on as the
user which you wanted to be the EFS Recovery agent.
However, in my case it took the suggested reboot. After
that I was able to go into ADUC, Domain/properties/Group
Policies and select the "Add" button, then select the All
tab and there were the two newly created policies.
I hope I'm in good shape now. Many thanks to you.
