I wish to clarify this since I never saw it mentioned anywhere - the specific servers you need to trust for delegation to make this work are the domain controllers. &nbsp;That is, the server you wish to enable this on must be trusted for delegation to Protected Storage and CIFS on all of your domain controllers in your domain (in Windows Server 2003).<br />
<br />
Usually I have to log off of the server and the client to get it working quite right. &nbsp;In one test scenario I had to reboot to get it working. &nbsp;But in all cases it's the services on the domain controllers that I had to trust for delegation to.

I have some of management using a Home Folder on one of my file servers. &nbsp;A couple of them would like to encrypt their files/folders. &nbsp;When they try they get the following message:<br />
<br />
An error occurred applying attributes to the file:<br />
U:\test.jpg<br />
The requested operation requires delegation to be enabled on the machine.<br />

What do I need to do to make this work?<br />

Thanks in advance for your assistance.<br />

requires delegation to be enabled on the machine

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Windows XP

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
