Hello,
I need to setup a shared folder called backup which is encrypted from the server side. The client side software would then backup to the client computer to the backup folder.
What I have done:
1) Setup the data recovery agent
2) Exported my private and public keys. ie. .cer and .pkf
3) Encrypted the backup folder
4) through group policy I placed the private key under Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Public Key Policies\Trusted Publishers. So every user can have the private key to decrypt the folder as they please.
5) Confirmed on a client side computer that the private key is listed under trust publishers
When I try to access the Backup folder which is encrypted via the network it keeps saying accessed denied even though the user has the private key under there Trusted certificates.
I even copied over the private key to the user computer and added it under Personal certificates. And the user still cannot write to the Folder.
If I disable encryption on the backup folder from the server the user and write to the folder just fine.
I cannot add a user to each file that is encrypted because there way too many files.
Could someone please help me. This the first time I an enable encryption . I have read many of the microsoft articles pertaining to this and I cannot seem to resolve my problem.
