EFS Encryption

From what security risks does EFS offer protection, and from
what risks does it not offer protection?
In your own words, describe what a “FEK” is and how it’s used? Feel free to research EFS at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc962103.aspx. With some detail, how can multiple people be
granted access to an EFS-encrypted file?

function differently. In your own words,
what are the differences between NTFS disk quotas and FSRM quotas? How do each actually determine usage? Why might an organization choose to use one
over the other?
