Enable a remote server for file encryption

Updated: January 21, 2005

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To enable a remote server for file encryption

  1. Open Active Directory Users and Computers.

  2. Locate the remote server name, right-click the remote server name, and then click Properties.

  3. Click the Delegation tab.

  4. Select the Trust this computer for delegation to specified services only option.

  5. From the list of available services, select the Protected Storage service and the Common Internet File System (CIFS) service.

Notes

  • To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Domain Admins group or the Enterprise Admins group in Active Directory, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure. For more information, see Default local groups, Default groups, and Using Run as.

  • To open Active Directory Users and Computers, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Active Directory Users and Computers.

  • When encrypting files on a WebDAV server, the computer does not need to be trusted for delegation.

  • You cannot configure a computer in another forest for encryption, even if there is a trust relationship established.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.

You need to trust it for delegation to the Domain Controllers      jk_iid   |   Edit   |   Show History
When it asks you to select which server you need to select all of your domain controllers. It will be listed as cifs and protectedstorage and you need to select both for each domain controller to assure it will work properly.

Also - when using WebDAV but accessing it via http or https protocols you still need to enable delegation. At least, I couldn't get it to work any other way.
