Hi,

When I try and encrypt any file on my windows 2003 server,i get the error
"recovery policy configured for this system contains invalid recovery certificate".

On googling about this ,I found that this means I have an expired recovery certificate.I went to my certificates by going to certmgr.msc and checked all my certificates.I did not have any Recovery certificate and the encryption certificates were all valid for the date.Then I created a new recovery certificate using the cipher tool and imported it to my personal certificate ,but still the problem has persisted.

Can anyone help in what else I need to be doing over here.
