Practice question 300 of 506 · medium

An administrator takes ownership of EFS-encrypted files after the user profile was lost, but cannot read them. What is needed?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.The EFS public certificate without any corresponding private key
  2. B.The user or recovery-agent EFS private key
  3. C.An ownership/Full Control ACL change alone
  4. D.A BitLocker recovery password alone as a substitute for the EFS key
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • The user or recovery-agent EFS private key

EFS needs the appropriate private key. BitLocker volume unlocking is a different layer, the public certificate alone cannot decrypt, and ownership or ACL administration does not provide decryption key material.
