EFS Recovery Agent not working on Windows 8.1

I know EFS data recovery has been discussed so many times in the forums but I could not find anything useful in the other threads as I believe I have followed all the required steps but still cannot get EFS recovery agent to work.
I have a Client1 (Win 8.1) and a DC1 (Windows Server 2012 R2) under beta.com domain.
DC1 is a CA server as well as a domain controller.
I logged into DC1 as beta.com\Administrator
which is the Domain Administrator account.
I duplicated the EFS Recovery Agent template on the
DC1 and published it into Active Directory.
Then I edited the Default Domain Policy GPO and under
Computer Settings\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Public Key Policies
I right clicked Encrypting File System and selected Create a Data Recovery Agent
and a new file recovery certificate was generated for the Administrator account.
I exported the newly-created Recovery Agent certificate and then logged into
Client1 as beta.com\Administrator and imported
it.
I then logged off from Client1 and logged back in using a different account beta.com\johns
and encrypted a folder (with a text file inside) using EFS. (The folder address on local disk is
C:\Reports)
Then I logged back into Client1 again using beta.com\Administrator
but I am unable to open the file inside the folder and I get an
Access is denied message.
It is very strange to get an "Access is denied" message because on the text file when I right click and click Properties -> Advanced -> Details, under the Recovery Certificates, the Administrator account's certificate is listed
and its thumbprint corresponds to the same recovery certificate which I created in step 3. But I am still unable to access the file.
Do you have any idea why? Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
The Client1 user needs to enrol via GPO to get the recovery certificate normally via automatic enrolment
Check the Personal Certificate store for Client1
I think the policy needs to be applied before you encrypt any data
To manually recover
Did you export the Private key when you did the export ?
Did you export to a .cer file

Nac Agent Not Working on Windows 64 Bit

Hi All ,
I have a Cisco ISE 3315 With Version 1.1.4 .
We have Windows Work Station and we have some issue with Windows 7 64 Bit users !!
On Some 64 Bit Workstation the nac Agent is getting about 25 Minute to start Checking the Posture Statu !!
I don't Havec that Proble With 32 Bit Workstation . We are using Nac Agent 4.9.0.37 and Nac agent 4.9.0.42!!
Here is log that i get From the 64 bit Workstation

Hi
Verify that supplicant is configured properly to conduct a full EAP conversation with ISE. Verify that NAS is configured properly to transfer EAP messages to or from supplicant. Verify that supplicant or network access server (NAS) does not have a short timeout for EAP conversations. Check the network that connects the NAS to ISE. If the external ID store is used for the authentication, it may be not responding fast enough for current timeouts.
Check whether the proper server certificate is installed and configured for EAP by going to the Local Certificates page (Administration > System > Certificates > Local Certificates ). Also ensure that the certificate authority that signed this server certificate is correctly installed in client's supplicant.
Check the previous steps in the log for this EAP-TLS conversation for a message indicating why the handshake failed. Check OpenSSLErrorMessage and OpenSSLErrorStack for more information

EFS recovery agent

Hello Geeks,
In windows 2012R2 CA , I duplicated recovery efs agent template , then in security tab added my agent and grant enroll and autoenroll,
in properties of CA server , added the recovery agent,
but in gpmc , when I want to add my agent to recovery agent , it shows me that no certificate available!!!!!!
please someone help me??
thanks in advance

I think you are confusing Key Recovery and Data Recovery agents:
In the properties of the CA in certsrv.msc you add a KRA (you change a registry key at the CA after you read KRA's certificates from an object on config. container). This will allow storing users' private keys in the CA DB - it can be used as an alternative
to DRAs but it is unrelated to the DRAs in the GPO.
In order to add the DRAs to a GPO their certificates need to be published the agent users' objects in AD (option Publish certificate to AD needs to be selected in the template) or you need to have the certificates as files. I would prefer the latter not
to complicate things now. So if you have issued proper EFS Recovery certificates
export their certificates from the CA DB (Issued Certificates) or from those agents' personal stores as CRT files and import them to the GPO.
But make sure that these are really EFS Data Recovery certificates and not Key Recovery certificates, otherwise data recovery will not work. The extended key usage should include File Recovery.

CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList is not working in Windows VISTA.When

CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList is not working in Windows VISTA.When I run the Application from vista using a jar file.But it is running if i run it from class file without use the jar file.

This pretty much says it all:
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.What version of Vista?
What version of the agent? ... 10g is not a version number it is a marketing label
Did you check to see if the agent is compatible with your operating system?
My recommendation would be to get a real operating system: Either Oracle Linux or XP.

Had the C partition been split/shrunk to form a new partition previously?
Does disk management show the HDD as basic or dynamic? (Start>Right-click Computer>Manage>disk management on the left).
If it has been switched to dynamic (Windows does this automatically when more than 4 partitions are present on the disk), then the F11 recovery partition won't function until it is restored to basic, but I would like to confirm that is the scenario before providing those steps.
The Disk management shows that my HDD as Dynamic, what should i do then if this is the case and the possible solution to my problem?
please help me & Thank you for your time,
This question was solved.
View Solution.

If you have more than 4 partitions you will need to delete the extra partition/partitions, then convert the hdd back to Basic.

Wireless Card does not work in Windows 8.1 for G585

I just wanted to inform someone that the wireless network card does not work in Windows 8.1 Preview. I suspect the driver needs to be updated. When I go to the Device Manager it appears as a Realtek device RTL8192DE instead of a Qualcomm device that does not start. I tried installing the latest driver from the website but it makes the computer crash (BSOD) when trying to reboot after the installation which makes the Windows 8 automatic recovery turn on and I had to restore the system to a previous state before the driver installation.
For now, I just refreshed my system back to Windows 8, instead of trying to use Windows 8.1 Preview . If you have any suggestions, it would be great, otherwise I'll wait for a driver update.

my HP Pavilion dv6-2153ee recovery is not working when i choose it from boot menu selection . it's run but then the windows run without running recovery. help me please?

Hello Tajamal,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the webcam isn't working since upgrading to Windows 8.1. I would have to suggest returning to Windows 8 since there are no 8.1 drivers, as indicated here: HP Pavilion dv6-7043cl Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Have a wonderful day!

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade. the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device? IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver. I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update. After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

Exporting Crystal Report to HTML is not working in Windows 7

Run this code to reproduce the issue.Which issue?
It looks like inheritance is broken in the component hierarchy for JFrame in Windows 7 JDK 1.6.0_23-b05. The only thing remotely related to inheritance in your code snippet is the WindowListener, which does little. See camickr's advice about built-in exit management.
EDIT - using the post title as a clue, I realize you may be talking about the component hierarchy, and whether the contentPane's background is visible through the upper layers. Instead of guessing, I'd prefer you describe your "issue" accurately (observed vs expected behavior).

APPLE mouse & keyboard not working with Windows (Bootcamp)

I installed Leopard and Windows XP on my Mac Pro. The installation went very smoothly. Only problem I have is that my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on Windows (frozen) although they work fine on Leopard. I tried a Logitech wireless trackball and it works fine on both Windows and Leopard. Any suggestion?

Thanks. I upgraded from Tiger and downloaded Bootcamp from Leopard Installation disc ( I did not have a beta version ). I then installed Windows XP SP2 ( brand new, just bought for that purpose ). Wonder if Mac wireless keyboard and mouse are compatible with Window. Everything else work beyond my expectation.

ITunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows - Fix??

Hi everyone,
I had issue after issue with the latest iTunes update (12.1.1) not working on my windows 7. It simply would not lunch when clicking on the shortcut to open.
After a fair bit of searching I found this alternative version which seemed to do the trick and now it works:
iTunes 12.1.1.4 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - iTunes64Setup.exe(2015-02-18)

The "for older video cards" installer - which, like most prior "64 bit" versions of iTunes, is actually a 32 bit application with a 64 bit installer - may be a useful fallback if the full 64 bit version does not install or run correctly. Although 12.1.1.4 is a major improvement over 12.1.0.71, there are clearly still some lurking incompatibilities with some 64 bit Windows systems/components. It is, however, a little misleading to say that "iTunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows" - in many cases it works fine without switching to the alternative version. I have the full 64-bit version of 12.1.1.4 running on three systems - two Windows 7 and one Windows 8.1 - no issues with either installation or operation on any of them.

ITunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64

iTunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64.
Getting the following error message:
Home sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "iTunes account." Please authorize this computer and try again.
This is a bug since my computer is authorized in iTunes and there is only 2 computer authorized for my iTunes account, so I have 3 more left till I should get this message.
I've just upgraded my iPhone to OS 3.1 using it this morning.
Please advise.

I am using Windows 7 x64.
I am running iTunes 9.0.2.25
I am running Mcafee.
I can see and play music from the iTunes installation on my Windows 7 machine, but I CANNOT access the library to copy songs from this computer to other computers on my network.
YES, I have enabled "Home Sharing" using my iTunes account. NO, I have not authorized more than 5 computers on this account.
I believe this to be a Windows 7 related issue, as Home Sharing worked as advertised when I was using Vista (before I upgraded to Windows 7).
I CAN set up Home Sharing on two other (host) computers in my home network and it works. These computers are XP and a MacBook Pro. I CANNOT access my Windows 7 machine x64 to COPY music from one autorized library to another. Please help!!!
P.S. - I have attempted to get this to work by turning OFF my McAfee firewall. Windows firewall is disabled.
