is recommended that you use a USB flash drive to store your worksheets, so you can
submit them to your instructor for review. As you perform the exercises in each lab,
open the appropriate worksheet file using WordPad, fill in the required information,
and save the file to your flash drive.
After completing this lab, you will be able to:
• Encrypt files with EFS
• Configure EFS Recovery Agent

Estimated lab time: 70 minutes
Exercise 6.1 Encrypting Files with EFS
Overview For files that are extremely sensitive, you can use EFS to encrypt the
files.During this exercise, you encrypt a file using Encrypting File
System (EFS), which is a built-in feature of NTFS.
Completion time 20 minutes
Mindset Question: You have several sales people who have sensitive material on their
computer. If their laptops are stolen, the stolen information could
put the company at great risk. How can you protect the important
data documents?
Always make sure as an admin you only allow access to privilaged
personnel while encrypting certain files.
Encrypting Files with EFS
1. Log in to Server01 as the Contoso\administrator user account. The Server
Manager console opens.
2. On Server01, create a C:\Data folder.
3. Create a text file in the C:\Data folder called test.txt file. Type your name in the
file, close the file, then click Save to save the changes.
