The only user Name in "Users Who Can Transparently Access This File" in
"Encryption Details for" the file is "ME$(ME$@workgroup)". The "Recovery Agent Name" is Administrator. "ME" was my computer name before renaming. The renaming was made for joining the domain. "Workgroup" was my workgroup name. There was not a Local user with "ME" name before joining the domain. The error message is the same when I try to open the file under the Local "Administrator" account. Importing a private key saved before joining the domain haven't helped.

How to get full access to all contents?
This sounds like a file ownership issue related to NTFS. Note, file
ownership and permissions supersede administrator rights. How you resolve it depends upon which version of XP you are running. XP-Home Unfortunately, XP Home using NTFS is essentially hard wired for "Simple File Sharing" at system level. However, you can set XP Home permissions in Safe Mode. Reboot, and start hitting F8, a menu should eventually appear and one of the options is Safe Mode. Select it. Note, it will ask for the administrator's password. This is not your administrator account, rather it is the machine's administrator account for which users are asked to create a password during setup. If you created no such password, when requested, leave blank and press enter. Open Explorer, go to Tools and Folder Options, on the view tab, scroll to the bottom of the list, if it shows "Enable Simple File Sharing" deselect it and click apply and ok. If it shows nothing or won't let you make a change, move on to the next step. Navigate to the files, right click, select properties, go to the Security tab, click advanced, go to the Owner tab and select the user that was logged on when you were refused permission to access the files. Click apply and ok. Close the properties box, reopen it, click add and type in the name of the user you just enabled. If you wish to set ownership for everything in the folder, at the bottom of the Owner tab is the following selection: "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects," select it as well. Once complete, you should be able to do what you wish with these files when you log back on as that user. XP-Pro If you have XP Pro, temporarily change the limited account to administrative. First, go to Windows Explorer, go to Tools, select Folder Options, go to the View tab and be sure "Use Simple File Sharing" is not selected. If it is, deselect it and click apply and ok. If you wish everything in a specific folder to be accessible to a user, right click the folder, select properties, go to the Security tab, click Advanced, go to the Owner tab, select the user you wish to have access, at the bottom of the box, you should see a check box for "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects," place a check in the box and click apply and ok. The user should now be able to perform necessary functions on files in the folder even as a limited account. If not, make it an admin account again, right click the folder, select Properties, go to the Security tab and be sure the user is listed in the user list. If not, click add and type the user name in the appropriate box, be sure the user has all the necessary permissions checked in the permission list below the user list, click apply and ok. That should do it and allow whatever access you desire for that folder even in a limited account. -- Michael Solomon MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Backup is a PC User's Best Friend DTS-L.Org: http://www.dts-l.org/ "Dmitriy Kopnichev" wrote in message ...

How to get full access to all contents?
I believe that we earlier resolved that it is not an
NTFS permissions issue. Administrator is a recovery agent only in Windows 2000. Windows XP has no recovery agent until one is configured or the machine is joined to an Active Directory. -- Roger Abell Microsoft MVP (Windows Server System: Security) MCSE (W2k3,W2k,Nt4) MCDBA "Dmitriy Kopnichev" wrote in message ...

How to get full access to all contents?
You may own the machine and the files may be yours,
but if it is encrypted and you cannot prove to the system that you are supposed to be able to decrypt it then it will not let you. The only way to prove that you are supposed to be able to access the EFS encrypted file is to use an account that has loaded into it the decryption key that corresponds to the certificate that was used to encrypt the file. When you renamed the machine, apparently starting down the road of denied access, something seems to have removed that capability. When you used cipher to look at the file it said that there was no user account allowed to decrypt it, instead indicating the machine was allowed to decrypt it. That, assuming you have reported accurately what you saw, is something with which I am unfamiliar, either as to why it got that way or how to get out of that situation. -- Roger Abell Microsoft MVP (Windows Server System: Security) MCSE (W2k3,W2k,Nt4) MCDBA "Dmitriy Kopnichev" wrote in message ...

I tried to add myself and/or another user to "Users Who Can Transparently Access this File" and got an error "ERSADU Error in adding new user(s). Error code 5." "Roger Abell" wrote in message ... When you look at the file's properties Security dialog is anything checked for any group in the Deny column ? You must highlight each group listed one at a time and then look at what is Granted/Denied. An account that is only in Administrators group is actually also in other things to which there can be NTFS Grants/Denies, like Authenticated Users, Network, Interactive, Everyone. . . . Not having EFS authorization appears as if it is a NTFS permissions denial. You should use the cipher commandline utility to examine the thumbprint info of the file to see what accounts are allowed to decrypt it. -- Roger Abell Microsoft MVP (Windows Server System: Security) MCSE (W2k3,W2k,Nt4) MCDBA "Dmitriy Kopnichev" wrote in message ...
