I am experimenting with a password reset tool. It says that once you reset the password, the EFS Encrypted files will be unreadable. I have read about EFS and am still confused.
I am going to reset the password for 3 PCs in an office because no one there has a clue as to what the passwords are. Then put new passwords on them and set them up for scanning from the copier. All they do with files is create word, excel, etc. and save them. Are these EFS files? How would I know if they are?
This is what I think, not what I know: If you don't go into the properties of the folder or file and tell it to encrypt then its not a EFS?????
